Critics blast UK plan to cut heat pump subsidies for defence

In the UK, Labour is being accused of planning to slash heat pump subsidies to help fund increased defence spending. Critics, including renewable energy advocates, say the move would be economically illiterate and would decimate the country's young heat pump industry. They argue that the government, which claims to prioritise economic growth, should be investing in renewables and home decarbonisation rather than redirecting green funding towards the arms industry.
Why now: Reports of Labour cutting green heating subsidies to fund defence spending have sparked anger among climate and renewable energy supporters.
