It also seems safer to only attach each house to one sort of potentially deadly infrastructure.

    I was thinking of the electrical grid :-) And then heating with heat exchange either to air or to ground, which of course also requires electrical power.

    Edit: Unless you want to go autonomous with regards to electrical power. Then the energy storage would become the potentially deadly local infrastructure, I suppose.

    plus electricity is crazy flexible. you can easily transform electric power into other types of power, such as mechanical power (rotary movement), lighting, heat, computation.

    with gas, you can only really turn it into heat. for all other uses, you'd first have to translate it into electric power or use a very bulky combustion engine.
