They think that solar energy isn’t worthwhile because it is only sunny half of the day and sometimes cloudiness can affect energy production. According to the Institute for Energy Research solar energy will probably be a small part of our energy in the future because of its cost and unreliability.

There are a limited amount of reservoirs and the potential of a drought makes this option more and more out of reach. Geothermal energy on the other hand has less negative effects.
