    I guess the point is that it’s easier to just put a solar plant at the end of the wire going forward than to replace the heating at the site of consumption.

    I don’t care for the Chinese leadership, but this is to be celebrated. Let’s all make progress.

      Yes, I didn’t intend to bash on them or anything. It’s a very welcome effort and badly needed. And heating pumps are up to 5(?) times as efficient as burning something to produce heat. Plus we have some other concepts like district heating which might be a good option for big cities.
