While as far as I know your points are valid, to me, solar and wind would be the easist technologies to develop, build, put in to action, and essentially just let them do their job without much in the way of support.
Hydro, you're looking at building a damn, supporting it, storing as much water as needed, releasing it on queue, etc, etc...nuclear needs fuel, requires lots of close monitoring, etc...i'm sure geothermal takes some work too...
