My furnace doesn't run if the electricity is off. The fan needs electricity. The safety circuits in the furnace need electricity.
If we want to talk about power outages causing loss of life due to freezing then we can talk about that problem. But I'm pretty confident that "put today's gas furnaces in everybody's home" is the appropriate way of attacking that problem. Especially in a place like the bay area where you just aren't seeing 10 degree lows.
