The UK has a weird relationship with heat pumps: under appreciated influencers, wild pricing, and bad vibes. With Andrew Sissons (Nesta)

This week we're joined by Nesta's Deputy Mission Director, Andrew Sissons, to discuss his take on why the UK has such a weird relationship with heat pumps.

It was inspired by an excellent Twitter thread on the subject that gained quite a bit of attention the other week.

We talk through it all so you might as well listen, or just take a look at the thread, either way it should be interesting.
