I can think of many it would not solve. Of the problems that I faced in my life in the last 24 hours not one of them would or could be solved b unlimited free energy. Most could be solved if people started using birth control.

I know this isn't a physics question ... but isn't it about time that humans, who have developed systems to limit that natural urge to murder and systems to limit the natural urge to steal ... developed social and cultural systems to limit a mindless, unconscious, brain-dead, desire to reproduce?
