Tidal is really feeding off the momentum of the planet, but yeah, that’s not nuclear.
Potential energy… that’s more a storage medium.
Perhaps we need to add the original energy of the big bang to nuclear. That threw things apart so they could have potential energy, and it gave a lot of matter a lot of momentum which gets topped up occasionally by a nuclear exploding star.
Potential energy and tidal are gravitational.
