Are you talking about backing up the entire utility? Because I have been talking about on site backup. An all electric house is much easier to back up on site because all you have to do is maintain power source(s). Some combination of solar panels, a powerwall, EV, and a backup fueled generator can run everything in your house. Generators are even portable and can be brought on site or connected to local grids.
I honestly can't see the benefit to gas service to a house. I have no idea why anyone would chose it for a new construction in 2023 when we have so many options for electrification. It's cheap now but it's still a fossil fuel and prices will go up over the life of the home. The same way 1950s constructions faced expensive conversion from oil to gas the current cohort of natural gas homes will be electrified, or demolished to make room for electrified homes.
