Natural gas is a fossil fuel. It has both carbon dioxide emissions and very significant leakage of methane. We need to phase it out as quickly as possible, along with other fossil fuels. It will play a role in balancing the electricity grid over the next decade or so because it is flexible, but we will need to replace natural gas with other clean firm generation sources that can serve that purpose in order to achieve 100% clean electricity by 2035.
