It's much better than coal. Most places don't have enough hydro, biogas or geothermal, and nuclear ran out of favour. There is currently nothing else that can deliver a base load.
For sure. I understand perfectly well what led up to this. Nuclear also ran out of rivers to cool them in France. Now we will see a fast transition instead of slow and steady transition away from gas. It will be "interesting".

Gas should have been phased out a long time ago, for geopolitical and environmental reasons.

A dependency on russian gas should never have been established.
