Because they are not universally present in all areas, and are not present at all times.

Why are wind hydroeletric and geothermal energy resources not suitable for providing energy worldwide?
I think they are VERY suitable; but so far, government policies don't exactly favor renewable and clean energy options. That is, billions are given in subsidies to petrol companies, money which would really be better invested in clean energy options.
Why cannot all countries rely on geothermal energy?
countries cannot rely on geothermal energy because there are not many suitable places for building a geothermal energy station. This is because you need hot rocks of a certain type and depth. Also a geothermal power station must be built in volcanically active places such as Ireland and New Zealand.
Why is the development of geothermal energy not proceeding more rapidly?
Not everywhere is suitable for geothermal, as it needs suitable hot rocks not too far below the surface of the earth. It is also easier to keep buying and burning coal in existing power stations. Only when the old power stations have to be renewed do business and governments think of renewable energy.
How can Geothermal Energy be used as a substitute for Fossil fuel energy in homes today?
If the location is suitable for geothermal energy use, that is, if there are hot rocks not too far below the surface of the earth, then a power plant can be built. This will generate clean electricity which can be fed into the grid and so to homes. Geothermal power plants mean that polluting fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power plants can be phased out.
What are the disadvantages of geothermal energy?
The disadvantages of geothermal energy are:There is considerable implementation cost when the source is deep.Not many suitable sites.Can run out of steamMay release harmful gasesNot a widespread source of energyIt is only practical to use this energy in places where magma is close to Earth's surface

The oceans and rivers make it sutable
What are two limitations on hydroelectric in the US?
Most of the suitable rivers have already been dammed, and dams can have negative effects on the environment. :)
