does this include building Liquid Natural Gas facilities, ports and heavy shipping for LNG, in that number?
Maybe “cleaner tech” is a better label.

at this point they simply must stay in the ground
Gas also enables a higher penetration of renewables. We won't get to zero emissions in the next 10 years, but we can get to zero emissions for days on end, because of gas plants.
In most countries we're not close to a penetration of renewables that significantly profit from the flexilibilty of gas. Thus building new gas infra isn't really helping. If storage (not just batteries) pans out the way we're hoping, gas can just be skipped. If not, it can be built quickly.
