Induction is less efficient. Say the stove is 90% efficient, power transmission is 90% efficient, the power plant is 40% efficient in turning fuel to electricity (limited by thermogoddamics). .90 * .90 * .40 = 32% efficient. Unless you’re running 100% renewables, it’s more efficient to burn the fuel directly to produce heat.
I like gas because it gets up to temperature basically instantly. With induction, you need special (read: expensive) pots and pans. With a regular electric cooker, it takes a while to heat up and the heat is harder to control.
