Natural gas is a great transitionary fuel source, and excellent at providing base loads in the face of growing renewables as you can spin plants up and down quite quickly.
The lack of NG pipelines to export our gas is the one that to me, is a bigger outrage. The environmental risks of transporting NG are so minimal in comparison to crude, and there are a lot of good reasons to think that NG will be a big part of our energy future.
