Question - there has been discussion of the cheap gas lines in attics with the never ending goal of reducing costs. I wonder if they would run a length of non-conductive (PVC?) line up to the attic so the attic line would not be grounded - would that lessen the chance of lightning hitting the gas line?

I don't think PVC can be used for gas. The lawsuit of several years ago the Weather Club talks about every year was the thin gas flexibility gas pipes from the gas manifold to the various gas appliances. The best solution is to have thick pipes as my previous home up north. The previous owner of my home took the money from the lawsuit and had the lightning medication system put in. There is also a grounding wire from the manifold to Earth.
Maybe someone from the Weather Club will have additional information.
