It doesn’t mean the energy itself is renewable, only that the sources aren’t spent when using them to make energy. The sun doesn’t burn out faster when we use solar power, the wind won’t stop blowing when we use wind turbines, and the rain won’t stop falling when we use hydroelectric or tidal power. This is contrasted with fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas, which get burnt up to make energy and cannot be reused.
