    Having a cleaner (gas)fossil fuel backup isn’t a bad thing,

    Yes, it is. Despite the PR name, “natural gas” is fossil fuel and burning it is awful for the climate, the planet, and everything living on it.

    Yes, it burns cleaner than coal, but that’s like saying that you prefer arsenic on your cereal over cyanide. Neither is an acceptable choice when there are options that WON’T kill you to satisfy the greed of billionaires.

    Unless your country has zero economic capabilities you should not burn coal any fossil fuels for electricity period.

    Fixed it for you. With renewables being so much cheaper and faster to build and implement, the ONLY excuse is your electric grid not being built for it and that’s MUCH easier and cheaper to rectify than the fossil fuel billionaires and their pet politicians claim.
