That's quite obvious, actually, since you appear to know nothing at
all about them.

I know more about them than you apparently.


nor would I want to
due to their inherent safety hazard

You mean "due to your irrational fears"...

Tell that to all the people who have been killed in residential gas
explosions. Compare with all those who have not been killed in the
non-existant residential oil or electrical explosions.

Nobody ever got electrocuted by a gas line, either. You're an idiot.


Good point. I'm sure the fatalities from electricity are way higher than from gas.


"During a typical year, home electrical problems account for 67,800 fires, 485
deaths, and $868 million in property losses. Home electrical wiring causes
twice as many fires as electrical appliances."

So how about posting the matching figures for explosions, fires and CO
poisoning from residential gas service.
