- People laugh at me when I say Nat. Gas is *not* safe and should not be
allowed in residential areas,

With good reason. I've lived in areas with natural gas heat for over half a
century and seen damn few accidents, and many of those were caused by morons
who didn't heed the Call Before You Dig warnings or who couldn't be trusted
to light a water heater according to the simple instructions stuck to the
side.

yet nearly every day there is a house
explosion due to a nat. gas leak,

Documentation please.
