Gas emits less CO2, but when it leaks it's much worse (Methane) so in the United States it's not far off in the normal pipeline network. In most countries we're not close to a penetration of renewables that significantly profit from the flexilibilty of gas. Thus building new gas infra isn't really helping. If storage (not just batteries) pans out the way we're hoping, gas can just be skipped. If not, it can be built quickly.
