[George from New England]

Really back at you!

When you hear about a house blowing up ??? Maybe a dozen times a year in this country.

It’s not because it had an oil burning furnace.
Not because it used electric heat.
Not because of a wood burning stove.
It’s because of a gas leak, whether in the house or nearby underground and seeped in.

I’m just saying!

Hundreds if not thousands of houses burn down each winter,with the wood stove blamed .More properly it should be poor installation and operation of the heating appliance.

Kitchen grease fires and food left cooking are also more common causes of house fires.

Americans seem to be poorly skilled at cost to benefit ratios and analysis.

Feelings is a song but not the best way to make policy decisions.
