"If you account for the high efficiency of natural gas power plants and the high efficiency of electric vehicles. We could immediately replace well over 50% of vehicles with electric without producing one more cf of natural gas, just using instead of throwing away what we already have. Combine that with intermittent sources like solar and wind, we could electrify all surface transportation with no additional natural gas production or CO2 release from natural gas, just using what we throw away (burn) right now.
