    The one positive point is that methane-burning power plants can be spun up in under an hour whereas coal plants usually need a week to power up. If the vast majority of power comes from solar/wind/batteries and gas is only used as (secondary) backup, this may make sense.

    Fossil marketing pretty successfully tries to eradicate the caveats and nuances from the discussion of course.
