Why would you go with propane? Natural gas is ubiquitous and everywhere (at least in the US). Maybe it's less so in the south? In the north it's mandatory for not dying in the winter unless you're so rural that you need to chop wood to stay warm.
- tingletech 7y agoin rural Sierra Nevada foothills California counties there is not ubiquitous natural gas
- wbond 7y agoNo, natural gas is not ubiquitous. Maybe within certain urban and suburban areas, but once you get a little rural you are out of luck. Then again, a lot of people don’t realize cable internet isn’t a given, even within 15 minutes of the capital city of a state in the contiguous United States. They also don’t have natural gas available. :-)

- repiret 7y agoIn rural eastern Oregon, there is not ubiquitous natural gas. I don’t think anybody chooses propane over natural gas, but natural gas is unavailable to a great many people.
- cpwright 7y agoIn suburban NY you don't have ubiquitous natural gas. Some, but not all, new developments are natural gas, but many existing ones are heating oil. Propane is also a possibility, but much more expensive so is not used as often as oil except for cooking.
