Ok. I will sum up reasons why a few of these technologies cannot work cost-effectively.

Wind:
Need power on demand. If there is no wind or if the wind is too strong the turbines do not work.
Unsightly when placed in the countryside.
Cannot produce enough power.

Solar:
You would need an absolutely vast amount of solar panels to produce enough power.
Very expensive.
What happens when the sun goes down or if it is cloudy?
