We haven't gotten fusion to work yet so I left it out of the equation.  Uranium is in limited supply like fossil fuels.  We just haven't begun using it in any large amounts.  Even fusion has an estimated source of deuterium (assuming that is what is used) of about 2500 years, and will get harder to extract as it is used.
