Stealing heat vs creating heat. It's like comparing the price of a cinema ticket to a torrent.

Who would win in a fight? Cinema ticket or torrent?

In terms of effort? Torrent. Even versus streaming nowadays.

I wouldn't know, last time I've been to a cinema was in the 2010s and that wasn't volountarily.

Ground-source heat pumps seem like they could be the new hotness. You don't have to dig very deep before the ground is a constant temperature, so that can be used to increase the efficiency even further in extremely hot/cold weather.

Tech Ingredients did a nice little DIY experiment with it.
