Natural gas as a good alternative is one of those "yes and no" answers. The newest generation of natural gas fired combined cycle powerplants are almost 50% more efficient than the newest generation of coal fired powerplants and part of the heat comes from combusting the hydrogen in the gas. This means a significant reduction in the amount of CO2/MWH produced.
Natural gas fueled vehicles can have engines designed to run with significantly higher compression, and therefore more efficiency, than gasoline fueled engines.
But, there is still CO2 being produced. At the same time, CO2 is not completely a bad thing--just ask a tree or the grass.
Watch the movie gasland for yourself , see how a whole community in Colorado has there drinking water now flamable !
