The story narrows somewhat in geography and adds sharper emphasis on where the pressure is most acute: historically cooler parts of the United States and Europe, alongside India’s fast-growing market. It also reframes the downside from general grid and cost stress to a broader equity and emissions problem tied to fossil-fuel power and installation costs.

The story now places more emphasis on affordability and grid impacts, while broadening the geography and stakeholder framing beyond earlier heat-health and emissions concerns. It also adds more specific roles for policymakers and utilities, and highlights Europe’s low-base adoption and India’s efficiency standards more explicitly.
