Natural gas isn't meant to be a solution, so it doesn't make any sense of complain about it. The US is switching to it because it's better than coal in almost every way (safer extraction, cost, air population, carbon). We're essentially getting the benefits of natural gas for free.

As I keep saying, fracked gas is killing our low carbon nuclear fleet. This is a tragedy, not some benign effect.
