A line chart tracking heat pump and gas furnace sales in the U.S. from 2012-2025. Heat pumps have outsold gas furnaces four years straight, although the former's sales dipped compared to the previous year.

Winning isn’t easy. Winning four times straight? A rare feat accomplished only by an elite few, like:

- The New York Yankees winning the World Series, 1936-1939
- The Houston Comets winning the WNBA championship, 1997-2000
- Heat pumps outselling gas furnaces in the U.S., 2022-2025 🏆

"Agrivoltaics" combines food production with solar power At Jack’s Solar Garden in Colorado, crops grow amid the solar panels.

When farms embrace agrivoltaics, plants and people get shade, and power gets made. That’s a real win-win.

Here’s how a third-generation farmer brought solar panels to his family’s land: www.marketplace.org/story/2025/1...
