Perhaps we can use that in addition to coal. Put the coal fired cars on hold and just use NG that you fill up the tank from home as there are fewer overhead costs compared to getting it at a service station.
The direction is away from utility scaled power generation. That is 20th century stuff.
The future is small power generation. We will perfect single dwelling size power generation/storage and largely deconstruct the power grids.
Imagine the economic headwinds we are facing from big oil/big power. But this too shall pass.

How will this deal with base load requirements of cities.... Oh right, it won't

all new buildings will be built with stand alone power generation. The need for the grid will be reduced and power production will be scaled down as it becomes obsolete.
So in other words exactly the same way that all new technology is adopted.
PS its a better life in technology.
You understand that we could be talking about electricity replacing gas and whale oil 100 years ago?
Except you would have been the guy who was wondering what happens when the electricity factory breaks.
Things change. That is the nature of life. What was impossible yesterday is possible today and obsolete tomorrow.
If only we had some kind of dilithium crystal that we could use.
If only
Even then Scotty has trouble getting the energy Kirk demands.
Electricity factory?
Think about what you post before you hit the submit button
At $10/bbl, no one produces and unless you replace all heating, power gen, and all cars with EVs, you'll see a spike in demand and the price to skyrocket until either the aforementioned issues are dealt with, or production ramps up.
Hilarious.
What does it cost the Saudis to extract a bbl?
I eagerly await your ideologically driven and uninformed answer

It costs them nothing to extract a bbl
That's why they can shut the oil sands down any time they feel like it.
I see.
So, the oil just leaps out of the ground, conveniently into some kind of storage container that is then hauled by a team of unicorns to a refining site many kilometers away, where the oil is refined into useable substances that is in turn transported yet again to a port at which time it propels itself into a cargo vessel in order to be ready for export.
... i never knew
