> This whole "gas is bad for the environment" is bunk when fossil fuels are required to generate al that electricity and that doesn't even get to the cost and efficiency of storing it.

Probably depends where you are, as this is very much not the case for everyone.

And even if it were true, trends matter. It's not the case now and for sure it's going to be less the case 5, 10 years from now.

We can't build new stuff which is practically obsolete on day 1 and a burden just 10 years from now.
