Yes, but natural gas is a more potent greenhouse gas than co2 and there are continuous natural gas leaks. All the CO2 savings (vs coal) from each KwH of burned natural gas is completely negated by all the leaks on the way to the consumer. Note that most oil companies are very bad at reporting leaks, we basically have to measure them manually from satellites to know about them.
Never said electrification was a bad thing, just natural gas. Instead of building new natural gas plants and patting ourselves on the back for it not being coal, we should just build more renewables.
