Following up on C_A’s question, what would it take for rural propane suppliers to switch over to offering LNG?

If you live in rural America your problems are not important or do not exist to the power structure, NOBODY is talking about the “propane problem”. It is a big deal in my life, and millions of others that use propane. We are being literary skinned and nobody in the MSM or anyone else talks about it. But bless it if somebody doesn’t get their EBT card on time, that is national news and a “travesty”.

LNG is not going to be a good source for a residential customer. It must stay refrigerated at all time to -260°F.

In a system that NEVER stops consuming significant volumes, autorefrigeration takes place as the boil off consumes heat in the tank.

But this would not be the case for residential user. You need a ratio of consumption to tank volume that consumes the tank in hours, possible a few days, not several months.
