The problem is the capital cost of the cryocooler. The upfront costs of a cryocooler, spread out over the usable lifetime of the cryocooler (they're mechanical, they wear out), vastly exceeds the cost of electricity you save by switching from CMOS to JJs. Yes, I did the math on this. And cryocoolers are not following Moore's Law. Incredibly, they're actually becoming slightly more expensive over time after accounting for inflation. There was a LANL report about this which I'm trying to find, will edit when I find it. The report speculated that it had to do with raw materials depletion. All of the above I'm quite certain of. I suspect (but am in no way certain) that the energy expended to manufacture a cryocooler also vastly exceeds the energy saved over its expected lifetime as a result of its use. That's just conjecture however, but nobody ever seems to address that point.
