Natural gas is just methane (97%)
Burning methane is better than coal.
Unburnt methane in the atmosphere is about 85 times worse than CO2.
Methane extraction and pipelines already leak a shitton of methane. Liquifying methane releases more methane while cooling it to -160ยฐC. Shipping methane releases more methane. Warming the methane back up to gaseous state releases more methane. Then you've got to pipe the methane again, which, you guessed it, releases more methane.
Beyond all that, the USA is the OPEC of methane, and we can never be anywhere close to a minor player; beholden to the activities of other exporters.
