Like fossil fuels come from organic matter that grew because of the sun. Is there any form of energy on that cannot be traced back to the sun in some way?

Do you have any source for the radioactive decay part? I always thought the Earth was hot inside simply because it hasn’t finished cooking down from when it formed as a ball of molten stuff. Like a hot potato.
Uh, I’ll find one, and edit. It confused the shit out of Victorian scientists, because they had a good guess how old the Earth is, and had thermodynamics, but it was telling them volcanism shouldn’t still be happening.
Oh interesting. It turns out it’s more like a demonically possesed hot potato, that is still cooling down but also gets warmer from demonic activity under the earth.
More like a hot banana, going by the potassium.
I actually had no idea radioactive potassium was primordial until I read this. That’s neat.
