The scale of time over which this will happen will be soo great that we humans most likely wont need to worry about it. We will either die out or evolve many times before then.

Other way around: we're the only part of the cosmos that is even capable of worrying about it. It falls to us. Every second we waste is another few civilizations' worth of energy irretrievably lost.

You know. No pressure.

The fact that our sun still shines is strong evidence that we're alone.
