“ A total of around 575,000 residential heat pump units were sold across 11 European countries from January to March 2026, up from 494,000 in the same period in 2025”

Not a big increase on a relatively small base. What is the takeaway here?


2.3 million a year for something with a 20-30 year lifetime is a lot. It's not quite enough for "in 20 year everyone will have one", but you only need another 5 or 10 years of similar 15% growth to get there.

That would be good if the changes are to slim it down by 80%.


Much fewer bots on X than Facebook. I think you are completely wrong.


"X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago"

Does anyone believe this?


It comes from X's own metrics, why would they lie about it?


Same as Block booking crypto trades as revenue.


Are the referenced companies referring to their volume as revenue?


Maybe just allow "insider trading".
