Propane is more environmentally-friendly than gasoline or diesel

Have you ever had a propane cooker running in your house, or seen it at another house? Have you ever seen a gasoline or diesel cooker? Of course not, they release much more pollutants in the air and anyone cooking with diesel or gasoline would suffocate and die, and the food wouldn't taste very good. Propane on the other hand burns clean, is nontoxic and is thus much more environmentally friendly. Especially considering gas or diesel generators do not have catalytic converters to clean up their exhaust gases like cars do.

Propane greenhouse gas emissions are 1.55kg of CO2 per liter. Compare that to gasoline or diesel which release 2.31kg and 2.68kg CO2 per liter respectively.
