Around half an hour in this gives a lot of deceptively framed statistics about natural gas. "We're closing coal plant, but what they don't tell you is that they're building natural gas plants that are even bigger." Then it shows that they're bigger in terms of MW of electricity produced and in terms of BTUs of fossil fuels burned. But that's not what's important, it's the carbon emmissions that matter and they omit a comparison of that.

Well they do produce about half as much CO2 emissions as coal. But they produce a lot of methane, which is just as bad or worse depending on how much the plant in question produces. Natural gas plants are no better than coal plants in terms of environmental damage.
