Natural gas burns quite cleanly. There's a number of European nations that don't have a single active coal power plant and they get by somehow.
The reason nuclear crowd loves to focus on coal is it's the worst case conventional technology and hence the easiest to argue against. The arguments against hydro, wind or NG are a lot less convincing.

- simion314 7y agoBurning gas still creates CO2, it may be cleaner then coal. Ideally we would not have to chose and we can close all coal,gas and nuclear plants and replace them with renewable, if this is not possible then we should maybe use rationality and not emotions to dictate priorities. This means closing or reducing coal usage, keeping and using nuclear at full capacity .

- varjag 7y agoThey couldn't screw Ukraine with gas supplies, so probably not that many.
