I know of a few banks that will be willing to invest in natural gas projects, we can start with the state-owned banks of Russia (and probably the state banks/treasuries of Saudi Arabia, Iran etc.) which desperately needs the export revenue, and China that desperately needs the NG to replace/stop the need for imports from "not so friendly" countries such as Australia, Canada and the US and to produce more electricity to help replace ICEs and feed their economic growth.
Then there is the small issue of space heating, i.e. not freezing to death in the middle of winter in places like Russia, Canada, and the Northern/Mid-Western US - especially if we get a fracking bust.
Then of course there is the small issue that renewables are not growing fast enough (actually the growth rate is decelerating as I have detailed elsewhere in the renewables area) to offset the increase in overall energy demand at a global trend rate of GDP growth of 3.5%.
Then there is the battery issue - i.e. nowhere near enough growth in global battery capacity during the next two plus decades to obviate the need for gas plants and therefore they will get subsidized as the "least worst" type of fossil fuel standby systems.
This is just reality.
