Heat Pumps are only controversial if you have vested interests in not using the most efficient and cost effective technology to heat people's homes. What lobby could that possibly be...?🤔🧐🙄
Sad news about the Happy Heat Pump Podcast.

Sorry to say, that after about 20 episodes, we’re drawing it to a close at the request of the BBC which worries it may be seen as steering into areas of public controversy.

Bad usability taken to court. With clear evidence this machine is designed poorly, and inadvertently to trick, companies should be forced to redesign bad experiences like this: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

This is concerning, but looking at the question, shouldn’t the alternative be “autocracy” or “dictatorship” (depending on what you’re trying to understand). In this case probably autocracy.

Do people really understand what democracy really means?
These graphs need to be seen in concert.

Trust in democracy is falling in under-45s.

Growing numbers think voting doesn't matter. And a leader "who doesn't have to bother with elections" would be a better system of governance.

This should seriously concern all in government.
