replyWhy? Every gas station stores that capacity.
gas stations, at least in europe, have "safety zone" around them.

This isn’t true in the US and would be a huge dependency risk. Natural gas networks require electricity to operate.

This is based on FUD. This is the case all over the US and they don’t cause problems.
It’s interesting that Europe has taken such a brittle approach to infrastructure.
