Do more math:
I paid under $3 a gallon for my last propane delivery in rural N Nevada.
2500 gallons would cost $7500-——NOT $75,000.
My annual tank rental on a 325 gallon tank is $55. Don;’t know what a 2500 gallon tank would rent for, but $75,000 is wrong. $75,000 would mean per gallon cost near $30 per gallon.
That is the cost of the tank, and installing the tank as well....

I don’t think he is renting a tank and I don’t think he is just going to plop it on a 4x2 slab of concrete open for all to see.
The costs include the tank and installation, not just the propane. That’s probably to run whole house generators, heating and propane hot water. He’s prepared for when they intentionally turn off the power grid. He knows what’s coming.

I agree with your math. However, they mentioned the tank was going to be installed underground.
Permits, contractor and purchasing the tank in Massachusetts is maybe what is running up the cost.
But then again, He is former President Sparklefarts and there is always someone to pick up the tab for ex-presidents and other retired royalty.
Tank costs are through the roof. Renting is less an option these days as companies want people to buy them. A 2,500 gallon tank could easily cost $75,000.
Probably need to pour a concrete slab and it probably needs permits and I imagine all those things are expensive in Martha’s Vineyard. Everything has to be brought by boat too.
