What do you think happens to the methane in the atmosphere? It doesn't vanish. Most of it reacts in the statosphere and troposphere and oxidizes into ... you guessed it: Carbon Dioxide.
10% gets eaten by organisms in the soil, but at least 90% turns into CO2.
Of course, Natural Gas thermal combined-cycle electricity generation is MUCH more efficient than Coal, no matter which way you look at it. (Unless you have an old already-paid-for coal plant next to a coal mine and only care about dollars)
