What does heat pumps have to do with the AfD? To me (a western neighbor) they stand for racism and hysterically dubious fiscal policies combined with voodoo economics. That could just be reporting though. But then again we have our own version of that as well.

The AFD is just attacking everything that the Greens propose. No constructive discussions at all, only populism. I fear that heat pumps will be the smaller „issue“ society will face in near future. The citizens are not yet ready for the necessary changes. Another problem is that Russia is trying to heat things up, too, not with the gas they provided, but with fake news campaigns in various medias. And yes, insulation is more important than the heating—-it can cut 80 percent of the bill for heating.
