My point is that the “small difference in temperatures” where it’s worthwhile to run a heat pump is still wide enough to run an air-exchange heat pump cost effectively damn near anywhere on Earth outside of the poles. You’re arguing the finges when almost nobody would be affected by it.
And if you’re using a geothermal heat pump, your thermal sink continuously sits around 50°F (while homes tend to be kept at 65-75°F), which means it should always be efficient.
Quit this conservative-esque route of arguing. It’s bullshit and you know it.
You need to quit the bullshit yourself and learn to read. We were specifically discussing heat pumps for industrial heat use in the sub 250 degrees Celsius range, not keeping a house at a comfortable temperature. But good luck heating a home in the desert with a heat pump with the evaporator on a solar boiler.
