Sort of. It's better than coal, and it's a by-product of fracking. I'm quite happy for expanded gas use as it reduces the propensity of extraction companies to just
flare it.

"Billions of cubic meters of natural gas is flared annually at oil production sites around the globe. Flaring gas wastes a valuable energy resource that could be used to support economic growth and progress. It also contributes to climate change by releasing millions of tons of CO2 to the atmosphere."
