As to delivery. Both electricity and the fossil fuels require delivery. One
through wires, other through truck. Both have problems. I'm in surburbia of
western NYS. My area has delivery failures, sometimes the electric is out.
Sometimes the truck guy has the flu and isn't working for a few days. But,
propane and fuel oil at least give me a bit of time buffer beween when I
call for refil and when I run out. In either case, it's far from being
perfect world.

Another option is piped in natural gas. I've got that. So far, since 1994
when I moved here, it's never failed. But, it's still just a pipe in the
ground. Someone else has to push the natural gas in, so I can be warm.

Propane has the advantage that it's on your location. When the thunder
storm
hits, and the power goes off, you still have propane in your tank.

But like you, here in the rural areas of NYS, a portable generator is as
common as the pickup truck, and unlike propane or fuel oil, electricity
doesn't have to be delivered to your house by someone in a big truck at
their convenience.
