I'll eat my underpants if it ever happens.

Weather and visibility on the Mount are shit for the majority of the year meaning there's nothing to see once you get up there and no incentive to get out and wander around.

The wind is frequently insane, meaning the engineering challenges are so significant that the final price tag will be stratospheric, especially when taking into account the limited patronage.

On top of these engineering costs are those associated with navigating the environmental impact assessment process, which would be an absolute shitfight given how many people/properties would be directly affected.

I can put you in to touch with my mum if you want more reasons.
