@@RedShoez we have zero wisdom to govern all the knowledge we have. humanity is too ignorantly arrogant to realize that. humanity will always repeat the same stupid mistakes and will never learn. most folks cant even keep their families or marriage intact. people just dont like to see what they have in common but focus on what they have in difference. i doubt there will ever be peace for mankind when they cant maintain something as simple as that. we should get out basics right first before we get ambitious and discuss of perpetual world peace. everything starts from home and mankind have gotten to far ahead of themselves in promising peace when nothing we do mean it in areas that matters.

I work for Natural Gas company in Canada. I really enjoyed this tutorial on how Gas system works in Russia. Thank you, very good job. We also charge Gas usage at M3. Our gas meters appear similar in ways, however I do not see where pressure regulator is located. Ours are at the meter. Also, I found it interesting that Gas piping is above ground. Ours are all buried underground. Larger diameter and high pressure lines are typically steel, but smaller service lines are plastic. (On residential street and from street to houses...plastic) Stay safe and be well. Peace to us all.

[@WolvesinFrance]

In France too its m3

[@VHSKacceta]

Above the ground, because the ground freezes hard in winter. In the northern cities of Russia, even the water supply is above ground

[@ricosuave5120]

But doesn't the water freeze? Ours in buried very deep below the frost line so it won't freeze.

[@VHSKacceta]

@@ricosuave5120 In Russia, in some cities there is literally permafrost. And permafrost cannot be warmed. Therefore, pipes with hot and cold water go above the ground and next to each other and they are also insulated. The water flow in the pipes does not stand still, so nothing freezes.

[@rickmyrick5470]

Hi Dan, I am in the Northeast US and have the same kind of heat as you and since you are trying to improve your English, which is very good, what you call a battery where your heat come from, we call a radiator. My boiler that heats the water uses oil for fuel instead of gas. Most houses here use either oil or gas. Some use electric heating, but this is most expensive. Best of luck to you and your family. Its nice to know with all that is going on, average normal people still want to get along and be friends, not enemies. Be safe and well.

[@weeardguy]

I think the battery thing is what Belgians call an 'accumulatorkachel' (accumulative-heater) and I wouldn't be too surprised if 'akkumulatori' (which I know from Ukrainian is a word for vehicle-batteries) is something that is used in this context in Russian as well. But his English is very good nonetheless.

[@traceyifversen6109]

I'm also from the North East. Don't forget propane. I was looking at it like battery? I had radiators growing up too.

electricity is cheaper in the western USA, where we have a lot of all electric homes.

Hi from Texas. Near Fort Worth. Started watching your channel a few days ago. I find it amazing that on your gasoline price video that the store you went inside, was very much like our “convenience stores”. If the signs were in English you wouldn’t know the difference! I only wish our gas prices were as cheap. However if you factor the difference in wages paid there, it’s not much different. You and your family are all “adorable”! I wish for the world that each country could just respect other countries, and their people, as the bottom line is we are all brothers and sisters in pursuit of a happy life.

Dan, here in New York we call the gas that heats our house “home heating gas” or just heating gas. It is universally understood that this is gas in a gaseous state of element. If we say “I’m going to fill the car up with gas” then it is universally understood that we mean gasoline ( petrol in Europe ). The formula you used to figure out cost is similar to how we find out the measurement for heating gas. Thank you for all your videos.

Hi Dan, the "batteries" in each of the rooms to heat your house are called "radiators" in America, just like a radiator is in all gas powered cars in America :) The word "battery" is rarely used in general American discussion in this context. You could say that your home has a battery of radiators that operate off of a natural gas or propane boiler. I watch your videos all the time, praying for you and your beautiful family.

[@edledskal9147]

It's interesting the gas lines are above ground. Here in America we bury gas lines (mostly), especially in residential areas. We don't actually see the gas lines, but it also means when we dig in the ground we often have to contact the city first to mark any gas lines in the area. This is not always the case but is dependent on where you live. We know where in the ground our gas lines are, but having them in the ground inevitable leads to some accidents where people strike gas lines with shovels while digging. I wish yall the best and hopefully things get better overtime.

[@theskyisturquoise]

Likely due to permafrost. Alaska has a lot of their utilities above ground for this reason.

[@noworriesmate5903]

So when vehicles get in an accident and hits a house they have a better chance of exploding. I'm really not sure which way better? What do you think? Would be a lot easier to detect gas leaks.

What your parents have on their walls is called a radiator and instead of radiators, I have hydronic baseboard heaters. My system runs off of propane gas OR an outside wood burner that burns huge logs. If we use the propane gas only, it costs about $700 per month to heat our house in winter (and spring and fall).
