All fossil fuels are the real enemy, 7% down on any of them is a good thing regardless of how they compare to each other. But also with a claim calling gas relatively green you should add a source or link to some studies because that doesn’t sound accurate
But basically it burns much, much cleaner than coal, and is easy to fire up, so works great whilst transitioning the baseload to nuclear and renewable power.

I’d recommend reading the EU’s reasoning for allowing both natural gas and nuclear energy projects to receive “green” funding - https://www.dw.com/en/european-commission-declares-nuclear-and-gas-to-be-green/a-60614990

Oh score, nobody ever actually follows up thank you. Article touches on arguments both for and against the inclusion of fossil gas. Good read
I highly recommend reading Sustainable Energy without the hot air by the late David Mackay.
The issues are difficult, and it’s often about choosing the least bad option.
