Propane doesn’t offer the benefits you seem to think it does. It’s more expensive and the distribution system for it likely has as many issues as the natural gas does. Going after natural gas distribution while we still have larger and more significant sources of emissions is a minuscule bandage solution at best. At worst it solves a very minor source of emissions problems at a major cost in both money and convenience.
Those commercial and residential emissions - those are largely about the fuels burned in buildings. 14% of the total is enough to matter — and when we’re running out of time to get emissions to zero, we need to cut it all to zero, not pick and choose.
