Will Bangladesh come to regret its dash for gas?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Bangladesh is one of a growing number of developing countries in Asia and beyond to have bet heavily on natural gas as a "transition fuel" -- a reliable, affordable and cleaner alternative to coal or oil that helps reduce carbon emissions while they develop more renewable energy capacity.
54% : "Natural gas emits about half the carbon of coal for the same amount of energy, leading supporters to argue that it could help developing countries wean themselves off dirtier fuels like coal and oil while allowing their rapid economic growth to continue.
46% : While the EU is targeting a steep cut in gas demand by 2030 to help eliminate its reliance on Russian fuel, Ditte Juul Jørgensen, the bloc's top energy official, has also signalled that it will need US gas for decades to come.
