So I was reading some pointless article about some shit nobody cares about (http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-36170117) when I noticed at the bottom that it says 1/3 of Russian households are not attached to gas.
What the fuck? Does that mean 1/3 of households just use electric coils, radiant heat ect, and BBC is just spinning it?
Or are 1/3 of you living without modern heat?
I used to live about 90 minutes north of Dawson City, and WE had gas, so what the fuck?
Explain this.

nice quads. I would also like to know the answer, friend

Russian gas is not for Russian people.
It is for sale to Europe and China.
>>72446666
Probably bottled propane or natural gas. By bottled, hundreds of gallons.

Okay, so I'm trying to look it up and it keeps talking about Turkey. :/
It can't be because of poverty, I read on Wikipedia less than an eight of Russians live below the national poverty line

electric power is far more efficient than gas. anyone who says otherwise is just a shill

We have shitton of bumfuck nowhere villages with old "soviets" who have no money from their pensions to have gas.

remove areas of russia, like the people living in siberia, have very weak infrastructure
lots of people live without electricity, running water and gas, and just farm for food, collect water from the river/well for water, and burn wood for heat

Gas is so 20 century
I live in 3rd world and gas is just a thing people use to cook, everything is heated by electricity. Not a single cent is spent in gas infrastructure outside industrial zones, because it's 2016 already.
this is bullshit senpai
I'm far from a Putin shill but even I can tell you that maybe like 10% of households dont have gas, and that's a generous estimate

I give source. You give your anus popping out of your buttocks
>>72446666
Nope, every house in every city has gas. But we have a lot of villages somewhere in the middle of Siberia that barely have roads leading to them, much less gas. Don't know if that's 1/3 of all households, but those villages sure do exist.

A ton of the old buildings ran off wood fire. It will slowly change as the old building go down. Communist leftover problems
I don't have a gas line and I'm only 20 miles Geneva. I just have tanks.
Germany has 2/3 of all households n gas. Some people just like oil, coal, wood etc.

Why would you be using gas for heat in the 21th century? Have you ever heard of oil?
