Cheaper - by far - to just use fossil fuel and offset the carbon release with carbon capture technology. Doubt that will change in the next several decades, at least not without a hellacious capital investment that would take even more decades to recover.

Or build a nuke power plant and count the natural gas you are NOT burning as recapture.
