Wait, wait, wait, I thought we were told switching from coal to natural gas is NOT the solution?
Just want to help out, I found the problem with the statement.

I think if you were to ask any real environmentalist they would say;

We need to get off coal as fast as possible gas or not, overbuild wind and solar, develop pumped hydro and gravity towers, improve syngas and direct carbon extraction tech. We need to build warehouses for half spent batteries that aren't efficient enough anymore, but are paid down as capital assets and still store energy. We need to encourage massive advancements in Ag-tech with the explicit goal of re-wilding land. We probably need to seed the sky with reflectors during dry heat waves. We need to accept and start building out Nuclear. We need to do it all and more. And with the likely path towards about $20T in annual economic lose to climate impacts, it's uneconomical not to do it all.
