Renewable energy sources are not quite unlimited.

In any case, an unlimited energy source might not be a good thing.

In 1964 J. H. Fremlin published an article in the New Scientist which
suggested that if energy were not limited, then "the problem of the
acquisition of energy would be replaced by the problem of its
dissipation."
