No, and you can't run it on an environmentally disastrous fuel like coal, either. Let's not forget that the carbon capture technology that has been postulated has never been shown to work on a commercial scale, let alone work profitably. It will be many years before we can hope to run coal-fired power stations that do not make a nasty big contribution to climate change.
We would be better off showing our engineering prowess as a nation by seeing how much wind and wave energy we can harness.
