In the UK, a change is in the air,
Heat pumps are rising, beyond compare,
52% more than last year, a record high,
A low-carbon dream, for a cleaner sky.
The government's grant, a £7,500 delight,
Helps households switch, from gas to heat pumps bright,
A £295 million budget, for the next year's plan,
To make the UK's homes, a greener clan.
But experts warn, of a challenge ahead,
Running costs must fall, for the targets to be fed,
The government's Net Zero plan, a goal to achieve,
Hundreds of thousands, of heat pumps to retrieve.
The Department for Energy, has a message clear,
To upgrade British homes, and reduce carbon fear,
The energy shocks, of recent years, a wake-up call,
To switch to homegrown energy, for one and all.
Gas boilers are a problem, a fossil fuel's might,
Producing planet-warming gases, a constant fight,
Heat pumps use electricity, a cleaner way to heat,
A key part of the government's climate pledges to meet.
