It's just my thing, not a critique of the technology.

OTOH, the processing and supply system for NG is remarkably cantralized
(in LA as I recall( and is highly vulnerable to a focused attack from
domestic or foreign terrorists (according to terror risk-assessments).

Also, there are some concerns that the availability and affordability
of NG has been grossly over-represented by some at the national-level
e.g. T. Boone Pickens who have a vested financial interest.

No big thing ... I just have to sort out what I can live with ...  :-)
