People tend to forget that while gas is being used for energy production, it is also being used as basis of chemical processes, e.g. for ammonia production, which then starts a whole chain of products (most prominently: carbonic acid, fertilizer, cooling, removing CO2 from industrial exhaust, ...)

We can't just replace natural gas with nuclear power, even if we did, we'd still be in deep trouble.

What percentage is that versus what is just burned? We need oil for plastics too but the vast majority of it is burned.
