I don't think it means unlimited, but perhaps essentially unlimited (do any of us realistically worry about the sun dying during even our most distant descendants?).
This is very hand wavy, but I feel like once we are able to store the energy we create (and so easily discard without even a thought), we'll realize just how energy abundant we really are. I mean, the US had an over abundance of energy, it's just stored on our guts rather than a battery.
We are constantly moving, our pets are, our entire life is filled with energy we never store or harness.
Once we're able to store this, I have a feeling our worries about energy will take a back seat.
Again, hand wavey, but that's also kinda like this article :)
