Yeab unfortunately liquid hydrocarbons are the only way to store large volumes of energy in the 21st century.
I bet there would be a lot of money in inventing some other means.

Electric can be run underground, but the danger of above-ground lines isn't nearly as high as gas would be so electric companies (at least in this area) run overhead lines which are vulnerable to storm damage.
