Not if your natural gas comes from a utility, piped into the house. Propane tanks won't touch that for cost.

Propane is more expensive, especially lately.

Im running an 85.00 ng hot water heater, harbor freight pump, 50 gallons of water and a cheap controller. Did the whole thing for less than 300. Burners only last about a year with this type of duty.

What's all the boilerplate for?
No one is disputing that propane produces more CO² per unit burned than natural gas, aka methane. I'm saying that it's cheaper to have it delivered down the pipeline to my house than to simply switch which tank I'm constantly running out and buying.

I was gonna drop the $ on standard burner/controller but then I seen this hydroGen 10-D water cooled generator, its very cheap, like $100 used, which im gonna have to spend on filling tanks this grow anyways lol... any experience with these? Says it puts out 15-45 cf/hr which is wayyyyyy too much. Would that be a problem? I Dont like that its propane, as I have natural gas lines everywhere.

Just the carbon availability for different types of fuels. A lot of the rural areas Natural gas is not available.
I gave up on Co2 enrichment years ago,
