One of your sources is selling cook tops, the other has a very specialized induction stand-alone cooktop made just for woks, and the other article is cut off behind a paywall. The source that sells cook tops doesn't claim "it's just as good" or even provide any evidence of it being as good. You can in fact use a wok on any cook top, it doesn't mean the results will be good. Induction can be good, but it's very expensive and uses enormous amounts of electricity. There is nothing wrong with natural gas - other than it's trendy to push electric currently. There's no future where everyone can afford to buy/replace one, or even operate them.

Currently more than resistive electric, and some gas ranges. Define "enormous".

So if more folks switched from the coil-resistive electric stoves they most likely already have to induction there would be a net reduction in energy use. > There is nothing wrong with natural gas - other than it's trendy to push electric currently. And the fact that it's highly inefficient, throws oodles of heat into your kitchen, and methane is a greenhouse gas (GWP>>1)—but besides that Mrs. Lincoln….

Not sure how you can say there is nothing wrong with burning hydrocarbons in an enclosed space.
