Oddly enough it never became a commercial success.
When you do the sums,,. renewable energy comes out at something like $250-$400/MWh overall, Gas its around $50/MWh , coal is around $40-$50/MWh, as is old pre-existent nuclear., and traditional strangled 'new' nuclear is up around $150/MWh.
But new nuclear that evades the regulatory overburden looks set to be in the $50-$60/MWh
If you want to have a competitive industry of any sort you need cheap reliable energy.
Renewables are absolutely the worst way to achieve that.
Fossil fuel prices are rising. Nuclear power done right should not. It is the energy of the future. If civilisation is to continue.
Renewables belong in a museum.
