as others have said, whether you use portables or a fixed tank in the garden, the gas has to come from somewhere!

a gas shortage has larger consequences though, 3 years ago during the last proper gas shortage, my work had to turn off mains gas and revert to fuel oil, if we didnt have the option of burning oil, we'd have stopped production (we actually had issues getting the boilers to fire on oil and suffered a massive financial penalty from the supplier as a result)

We produce about 250 tonnes a week,most of which goes in to supermarkets, and we are only about 5% of that particular products UK supply....
