Re: A What...?

I have natural gas heating, and I'm sure you could make a gas heater easily enough w/o electricity if you really had to. My point is not that I don't need or want it, it's that just because it's a utility doesn't mean it is necessary to life.

You might get that heater to fire off, but how are you going to move the heat through your house?

Hot air needs an electric blower, baseboard heat needs a circulation pump, both are run by electricity....
