Technological Difficulties
Some of the technological problems that would disrupt the implementation of Solar Thermal power are the ability of certain liquids to accommodate thermal storage. Water can cause corrosion in the system. Molten salts and oils break down at high temperatures. Until a better liquid is found it will be limited by those problems.
Political Difficulties
The fact that most of the energy market is controlled by large international corporations that rely heavily on fossil fuels, they would snuff out any competition just by buying them and removing the technology. Also these new technologies are expensive and less common than fossil fuel power. Politically the new technology has a small chance to survive as well because the large companies may lobby to politicians to kill any bills that would help this new technology
