The most important part to understand about "alternative" energies, or fuel-free energies, is that there is a vast abundance of energy, which means it's basically worthless. The value is not in capturing the energy, but in funneling it at the right time to the right place. That may include storing it. And fuel is stored energy, which is why uranium, oil & gas are expensive.

Because what you need isn't energy, it's power (energy/time). And matching power production to power need is really hard when you base it on something that you don't control (like the weather).
