Because it we are lacking core technology to make it works - Energy storage. A do not tell me about Tesla batteries, and Show Hydro 2, they are both not scalable. Batteries for time, hydro forever. And there is no time to wait. we need to phase out coal ASAP, and nuclear only tested green technology we have in the moment which can provide base generation in AU. Hydro is other one, but we are used it all already. In 50 years it may be better solution, form high altitude wind to orbital solar and thermonuclear. For now there is no other option, we burn coal or we build some nuclear with renewables on top.
