Probably not the intention of parent, but if you could mine the uranium that is released on the oceans by the earth's crust each year you would have an effectively renewable energy source that is nuclear.

We've also got enough thorium and uranium on the moon, mars, and asteroid belt to make nuclear effectively renewable for 5 or 10 earths living full-on Jetsons lifestyles for millenia to come.

I think a lot of our energy "debate" is caught up in opinionated words... "renewable" instead of "low carbon", "electricity" instead of "energy". These words frame our thinking and dialog in a manner quite favorable to entrenched primary energy interests :/
