Got into an interesting discussion on what matters in communication.

Nuance gets missed a lot when people tell half-truths. For instance, an astonishing amount of folks say they want gas as their heating system because of power outages.

Most gas-fired systems still need electricity to operate. Which, anyone who has lived with one during a power outage, already knows.

That half-truth is that a gas-fired system can more easily be supplied with emergency power. But most people don't have that.

@TechConnectify back in 2011 Southwest Gas ran out of gas due to a unexpected cold snap. And unlike electricity they couldn't just turn it back on when supply was restored. It took them days to visit each house individually to turn the gas back on safely.
