For all practical purposes, it is inexhaustible, but in absolute fact, it is not. The fact that the sun has been the Energizer Bunny for about 4.5 billion years, and will be for about 4 billion more is mostly because of it's size - it's impossible to grasp just how much hydrogen comprises the sun, and it isn't even considered a very big star, as stars go. But one day, it will use up the last of it's hydrogen, and collapse inward on itself becoming a white dwarf.
