A gas line in your basement! What could possibly go wrong! Come on...
Hit NG with a spark and see what that’s like!
Let’s see, there are buses running around on the streets with compressed NG systems in them... I see they make the news every night because they’re blowing up all over the place.... /s
Would there have to be proper containment system for the hydrogen? YES! Is it a hugungus undertaking... No! It’s no more of an issue than an above ground liquid propane tank.
The horror! Those things explode all the time right? /s
The ISSUE is hydrogen embrittalment. THAT shortens the usable life of the system.
The mainteneance on the fuel cell: THAT shortens it!
Take your Hindenburg and stow it!

Absolutely wrong. Propane is liquid under reasonable pressure at room temperature. Liquid hydrogen turn to gas at -423F. Extreme cryogenics. PLUS liquid H2 takes up a lot of space to quote
The density of liquid hydrogen is only 70.99 g/L (at 20 K), a relative density of just 0.07. Although the specific energy is around twice that of other fuels, this gives it a remarkably low volumetric energy density, many fold lower.SO NO there really isn't a great deal of similarity between propane and liquid hydrogen.
I've worked the design of propane and hydrogen storage and pumping/compression systems.
It is a heck of a lot more complicated and expensive than storing propane. Compressing it to a usable volume, the ease hydrogen leaks from systems due to the small molecule size are examples. Also the Group B rating for the Hazardous Area Classification makes equipment more expensive to manufacture.
are you for it? or agin’ it?
Storing propane and hydrogen are two very different things. Propane is easy to maintain as a liquid at relatively high pressures, not so hydrogen. If fact hydrogen is very difficult to hold as a gas because of its low molecular weight.
Hydrogen has the added danger of producing an invisible flame, not so propane.
