I think you’re 100% wrong about all this. I’ve lost power in winter, and


Even though my battery backed thermostats stayed on, the furnace produced no heat, because it needs electricity to operate.

Just did a little googling on it - this is not an additional risk with gas heat - just as susceptible to power outages as electric heat. Come to think of it, that was true when I was a kid with our oil powered boiler too.
