I suppose that's a possibility but we're a pretty long way from having space colonies and it's not entirely clear how we would power such an endeavor.

It's not entirely clear when and how we'll hit the theoretical limit of power usage either, particularly if efficiency keeps increasing. All this discussion is about hypothetical situations.
