The electric system consumes another fuel that nuclear power could replace: natural gas.

The collected gas is used in a boiler, replacing natural gas as the source of heat.

Electricity replaced gas for lighting soon after the completion of the house, but the old wood/coal cookstove continued in use for many years.

During winter or a supply disruption, fuel oil or gasoline may be required to replace natural gas.

Nuclear power, for example, the other main focus of the energy package, does not usually substitute for oil; it mostly replaces coal and natural gas.

Natural gas began having its own supply problems, and wind power showed potential for replacing natural gas in electricity generation.

The Duck Reach power station replaced gas for street lighting when it was completed in 1895.

Biomass can play a considerable part in replacing oil and gas.
