I found these two videos on a home with combination gas and electric fixtures. The original owners of the home must have been survivalists of the day (1915) who didn't completely trust electric power. The gas system uses low pressure acetylene gas which would have been generated in the home. If we have lime and charcoal we can make calcium carbide. Then we just add water and we have acetylene. That's independence. The house interior itself is neat.
This is a practical system for any home. Wouldn't you rather read a book by gaslight than watch the latest television show?
For some reason, the first video won't link so you'll need to copy and paste.
