Do you think Nat Gas will function and distribute countrywide after any EMP ? Are there not valves/switches in the pipelines that are controlled with computer gear. I don’t have faith that anybody has tested the ‘gas-grid’ for EMP integrity

Nor do I have faith that the controllers for the natural gas pipeline system won't be specifically targeted by a people who had Stuxnet to use as a bitter example.

Like I said, it will run on propane as well.
Do you think an EMP attack to be likely?
More likely than a local ice storm or a national economic collapse?
Besides, is your GENERATOR EMP-proof?

Every natural gas compressor station is run from a PLC. In the event of a loss of electricity the nat gas back-up generator will power the station via the UPS until ESD then the station will be off-line.
Matter of minutes to half an hour. I doubt a single generator is EMP proof.
