> How is an all-electric infrastructure “less fragile”? I can generate electricity at home with off the shelf parts. I can also store respectable amounts of it with stuff I can buy off the shelf. Electricity generation can also be distributed easily, you can have multiple small power plants around the grid. Gas needs to be centrally pumped out of the ground, processed, pressurised and fed into pipes. There is no practical way for a normal home to make enough of it at home.
