Using ground heat (deep ones) reduces the electricity need sign.

Also if a heat pumpt creates 3-6 the energy from 1kwh, its even more efficient to burn oil and gas to make energy out of it and remote heat than just burning it locally in your burner.

Also the market should be seen more holistic with water energy from the north and sun from the south.

But we also know that capitalism is pushing our earth to a runnaway heat death for a lot of humans.

For a long time our planet and we have the capacity to rebuild our whole ecosystem on clean and cheap energy but we don't. Instead we still kill mmillions due to pollution and bring extential crisis to millions just because some lunatic behind the biggest military power on the planet decided to kill a whole civilization in one night.

We probably talk abuot a year of progress diffeerence.

Its also still quite expensive for an avg person to consume any of it. Either due to hardware invest, energy cost or API cost.

Also professionally I don't think anyone will really spend a little bit less money of having the 3th quality model running if they can run the best model.

I'm happy that we reach levels were this becomes an alternative if you value open and control though.
