I don't see how anyone can miss the obvious.

That rules out the OOL in caves or under the sea , or outside the HZ

Most of the available energy in caves comes in one way or another from
the running water - which comes from rain - which comes from oceanic
evaporation - which is driven by the sun.

The good thing about caves is their level of insulation.
