The BBC reports that a former Victorian gasworks in Bradford now hosts a £75m air source heat pump network, which pipes heat to City Hall, the courts, a university and a college. The report explains how the network works, who funded it and what it plans next. Nothing in it misleads the reader about the science or about climate policy.
