I have been around a lot of LP powered engines and they are extremely clean.
The issues with those you were around must have been a maintenance issue or lack of proper air filtering.
Older factory engines that were later converted to burn LP frequently had valve problems until hard seats and valve rotators were installed. I once saw an engine torn down for valve work and even though the engine had nearly 80,000 miles on it you could still see some of the hone marks in the cylinders. Ever see that with a gas engine? No way. Gasoline tends to wash down the walls whereas LPG is a dry fuel which leaves oil cleaner as a bonus.
Personally I'd like to see natural gas kept for current uses such as heating and those power plants that use it.
Shifting to wind and solar and adding nuclear power plants is needed, but focus on CONSERVATION should be at the forefront. Building homes and other buildings that aren't super-insulated is folly.
