I guess as a related point to cost. I'd note that natural gas is a vital component in fertilizer production, plastics, and many other industrial operations.

The point being that an increase in gas prices from use for electric generation: 1) drives up the cost of fertilizer, feeding into food price hikes, 2) these food price hikes create massive social instability in lower income countries, 3) closer to home, increase in gas prices translate through to heating costs, 4) at least in North America lower income housing is often energy inefficient, so these increases have a disproportionate impact on those who have the least.

So switching electric production to gas will leave poor folks cold and hungry. Of course this is just the market driving out consumption, so when this leads to human hardship it's basically the condemnation of "nature" that these folks were not fit to live. Brilliant!
