This statement seems to be perfectly in line with the climate plans in EU. Natural gas (and oil to a lesser degree) has been delegated as the primary energy source to balance the electricity grid, spearheaded by the green party in Germany. Towards this goals new pipelines were built, old fossil fuel plants got new investments rather than decommissioned, and natural gas was even defined as "green investment" last year. In Sweden it was a green party leader that said that oil is a natural part of the energy grid. Their argument was that nothing else is cheap enough to be used as grid stabilization while we wait for green hydrogen to become cheaper than oil and natural gas. As such a new fossil fueled plant is being planned to be constructed in the few years. Outside of scientists there seems to be very few who fully support a complete phase-out of fossil fuels.
