I think there might be some issues in this regard...
1. Many nuclear reactors are operating at a loss and may close soon... These don't have much of a carbon footprint, but will have to be replaced by NG in the near term, which is fossil fuel and makes things worse.
2. Per
@neroden , NG is a byproduct of oil extraction, so when oil consumption goes down and oil companies go bankrupt, naturally there will be less NG available & I think it is not very profitable to just extract NG on its own.
We also use NG for cooking and heating.
So, it seems NG prices will shoot up...we might be able to replace gas ranges with electric and gas heaters with electric heat pumps at home, but powerplants will need to replace NG with something else fast, considering we'll add to our electricity consumption due to less NG at home.
