Tidal and geothermal are not.

Pretty sure if the sun stopped generating heat the oceans would freeze but I’m no astrophysicist.

This raises an interesting question in my mind, does tidal power make the earth get closer to the moon? Because if you got all the energy out of it, then the water wouldn’t move, so I guess it’s the same as gravitational potential in that sense, but I guess it’s removing it, so less gravitational potential means either less mass (not the case) or less distance.
