How convenient is it to use propane?
It’s extremely convenient. In the United States there are approximately 70,000 miles of interstate propane pipelines and more than 25,000 retail dealers – making propane readily available for most homeowners. Propane is stored in portable tanks, so it can be used in areas beyond gas mains. To fuel homes, large tanks can be buried underground. Because propane is a nontoxic, nonpoisonous fuel that doesn’t contaminate aquifers or soil, it offers a safe alternative to other energy sources.
