In areas where there are gas transmission lines, sure. Large portions of the country don’t have that infrastructure built out yet, but do have rail lines which provide coal.

It’s also a timing/capital issue.

It will change eventually, but in the meantime people need their kWh.

Rail lines also provides logistics for methane, which produces many more usable joules per kg of fuel.
