Copout? Denial? I don't know what you're talking about.

The only propane tank I have is for the fireplace, which has never been
used. As far as I tell the tank has never been filled. (I wish it was
a wood burning fireplace.) I sure as hell wouldn't want to rely on
propane in order to cook.

When there is a blackout, people rush around trying to find places to
refill the tanks for their gas grills. Me, I just break out the
charcoal.

I rest my case. If the electricity goes off for any length of time I
fire up the Weber kettle. I've cooked for a week without electricity.
Everything from bacon and eggs on a cast iron griddle to a pot of soup.
Cast iron cookware comes in handy during a power outage. I really see
no need for gas or propane. Wouldn't want to rely on whether or not the
tank was filled.
