Thankfully, no.



My CO detector awoke my family at 3:00 a.m. because of 90 ppm CO in the 

upstairs due to smodering biomass in the basement.



The fire department knocked on our door when our neighbor's propane tank was 

struck by lightning sending flames 8 meters into the air that slowly 

subsided over a period of days.



My nuclear-powered heat-pumps have no such problems, and are generally just 

as efficient for heating/cooling in mild climates.



I agree entirely.



Regards,

Jim
