The financial part of the article is why we're seeing extensive adoption in rural locations, where people depend on propane, but not in urban areas which are hooked up to the methane distribution system. Getting universal adoption is going to require making electricity cheap and providing support for the appliance switch itself.

One of the biggest obstacles right now I think is that many houses weren't wired for it, more and more electrical devices, old buildings aren't capable of supporting them all. For example our kitchen barely supports a microwave which cannot be used at the same time as the toaster, an induction range would be at the sacrifice of another appliance. Of course people misconceptions about the effectiveness of induction as well.
