Assuming we can survive long enough we'll probably harness and control the energy of the sun long before we need to. Of course some day we're going to suddenly realize that if we don't find a way to get to other stars we're going to fizzle out and die. A lesser example of such an event is the impending worldwide oil crisis due to shrinking resources. It isn't replenishable and most of the energy necesarry for civilization is dependent on it. Hopefully this will force the necesarry adaptation that will lead to solar and hydrogen energy sources that can last us longer than we need. If things go well for us as a race we'll figure out how to stretch out our energy to the point of a nearly perfect system.
