Nuclear energy is a type of potential energy.
On the other hand, this may also refer to "potential" in the sense of "possible". It is possible that we harness this nuclear energy one day.
Scientists have considered placing solar panels and wind turbines over the oceans to harness renewable energy. Solar panels can capture energy from sunlight, while wind turbines can generate electricity from wind currents. Both forms of energy have the potential to provide clean, sustainable power.
Water in a hydroelectric dam has potential energy that came from the Sun's energy evaporating it and raising it up from the oceans. The energy is released by running the water down a chute so that it gains kinetic energy which drives a water turbine and that drives an electric generator.
Nonrenewable, eventually the oceans will run out of extractable deuterium. But thatt probably won't happen for a few million years.
The sun most evidently. The world's oceans contain an almost limitless amount of deuterium (heavy water) which could one day be used for energy from nuclear fusion, when scientists and engineers have learned how to do it.
OK first some background info. The Moon pulls on the earth's oceans, creating tides as it moves around the earth. so gravitational potential energy is turned into kinetic energy of the water molecules in the oceans. These tides are harnessed by tidal turbines and the kinetic energy is turned into electric potential energy aka electricity. (I'm not sure what the "heat energy" part means but some of the energy is lost to heat during both steps according to the second law of thermodynamics it that's what you're asking)

Deuterium is found naturally on Earth in trace amounts in water, with deuterium atoms replacing a fraction of the normal hydrogen atoms. It is also found in other natural sources such as organic substances and minerals. Additionally, deuterium can be extracted from seawater through a process called isotope separation.

condensation and evaporation or potential to kinetic to heat is the kind of energy conversions sustain the water cycle
Earth's oceans radiate infrared energy into space as part of Earth's energy budget. This energy is a result of the absorption of solar radiation by the oceans, which is then re-radiated back into space as heat.

This is the deuterium isotope, which has a nucleus of one proton and one neutron, whereas the predominant hydrogen isotope has just a proton. In natural water on earth, which is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, H2O, there is a small proportion of water made from deuterium instead of normal hydrogen, this is often written as D2O. To make heavy water this compound is extracted, so you don't make the heavy water, you separate it out from natural water.
With fission reactors, probably at least a hundred years. By then fusion may be usable and this will last indefinitely, as so much deuterium is in the oceans.
The Sun is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans. The Sun, heat radiated form the Sun is the main source of energy driving convection in the atmosphere and oceans. There is also a small input form geothermal energy.
