They were tried but found not to be practical - basically, they could not compete with th energy density of fossil fuels. So, they were relegated to the back burner until now, and even now, we are just beginning to be able to use electric for that reason (energy density).
But, I am sure you saw my point - thing usually seem to take forever, until they happen then all of a sudden we look around and ask, how did that happen so fast.
