I guess this is cool, but even though it's an efficient heat pump it's still a poor use of electricity. It would make more sense to use cogeneration, to use the incidental heat from a thermal power plant, for district heating.
Ok but then you'd be living right next to a coal/nuclear power station.
They're designing shipping container sized nuclear power plants in Finland, so living next to one will hopefully soon be a reality for a ton of Finns. These however are much simpler and only heat water, not create electricity.
