I'm in Santa Cruz County. Since I've been here, natural gas has been off for multiple days in a row twice. Once because of an earthquake, the second time because a winter storm put a lot of water in a hillside and the slide severed the (only) high pressure gas feed for the county. In both cases, electricity wasn't stable either. So for the last datacenter I built, I went with diesel. I've also been told, though I don't know how true it is, that diesel generators can go longer between service intervals, though for a datacenter I wouldn't skimp on routine maintenance anyway.
