Not in any sort of cost effective manner

It would be incredibly difficult to build on in such a way that it would be safe and stable enough to not fall in on itself

It’s essentially in the middle of nowhere which would add additional challenges in both getting the water to the plant and getting any electricity from the plant to where it would be used

And, it’s just natural gas, which there is plenty of from easier to access sources that can be transported and burned in more suitable locations.
