People said the same thing about A/C and heating being installed in everyone's homes and businesses, I imagine you're not old enough to recall that.
Yet here we are, enjoying A/C and heat with electricity that scores of negative people said couldn't be adequately supplied.
It's all a matter of infrastructure, the energy sources and tech to create adequate electricity are there, the generation, storage and distribution is the expensive and long process.
Civilizations work best when there's a necessity, it's the only reason you have modern amenities.
