Griff , Think about that for sec , asking the land owners IF they want a gas main run thru their front yard , who the HELL is going to allow that ??
Actually, my development was built around an underground gas pipeline. In some cases, it passes into peoples yards.

It really comes down to compensation. If it meant a payment of $100 per month for the average house to act as host, there might be some people who would go for it. As an added bonus, you would have automatic caretakers since it would be in the residents interest to report signs of a leak.
