It worked well until there was a component failure, requiring a whole farm to be taken down to replace said failed components. This is why they dropped the project.

They didn't think of that when designing this?

What do you think research is?

you don't need to jump off a building to research gravity...

the specific issue that is claimed to have made the entire project unviable is easily spotted a mile away

I'm sure they did, and they wouldn't take the farm down until there was X% failure, but the amount of time and effort it took to perform those repairs made it unfeasible.
