True - but in my experience electrical failures happen far more frequently than gas failures. BTW gas stoves (at least basic cooktops) also run without electricity (although you might have to dig up some matches if you depend on a mains-driven spark to light it). This is quite handy during power failures, since it means you can still heat something to eat - and even get a bit of room heating on cold days. Too bad the Powers that Be are trying to eliminate gas appliances. I guess we need to save all that gas for LNG sales overseas. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | In this world there are \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | two kinds of people: X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | 1.
