Efficiency wise you may be wrong. Carrying electricity is not efficient (you lose energy with distance) while gas (as long as leaks are limited) is a more efficient store of energy from start to end.

the entire grid has loses of roughly 7%. it also takes energy to pump gas around, and leaks aren't all that limited.
