In our increasingly mobile world, propane is an exceptional energy source for a number of reasons. Manufacturers are able to take advantage of propane's portability and locate plants and facilities far from natural gas mains and close to natural resources and key markets. Individuals can take advantage of advancements in telecommunications and information technology and live and work wherever they choose — even if it's far from the gas main or power grid. From the city to the country, propane is available virtually anywhere in the United States. And with propane, even during periods of demand and supply imbalance in energy markets, propane is a reliable and stable energy source. Using propane eliminates additional stress on the electric grid. About 90% of all propane is produced domestically. The abundance of propane supply from domestic sources is an important advantage.
