I don't think gas is a good option but I consider it a lesser of a few evils until renewables come along with a good solution to generate a base load. I'm not trying to invalidate what the EU is doing, but they are still burning fossil fuels and if I have to choose between a few I choose gas. I'm in a country with a lot of coal you see. Coal is the default option and I would really like it not to be. Especially given we have a lot of aging powerplants that are going to need replacement shortly... I know that nuclear is an option, but I am generally unimpressed by the cost*construction_time/power ratio.
