cosmic rays hitting the upper atmosphere release as much if not more energy than anything we've done in an experiment so far. I wouldn't loose any sleep over what RHIC does.
In combination with solar power, CO2 from the atmosphere and water can be used to produce Methane. This could then be used in a reformer type fuel cell. This is a cycle using only renewable energy.
