    Based on current predictions that will happen in about 3.5 billion years.

    So I think we will be fine.

  Yeah, but you have to put energy into getting that energy.

      I tried plugging my phone into the elm tree out back. Turns out it doesn’t work, and also it wasn’t an elm tree, it was the neighbor, and he was pissed when he woke up.

  That’s why we’ve been trapping all this extra energy! Free real estate baby. It’s just good economics.

    If we haven't made it off earth by then, well we are shit out of luck.

  I wonder how much sunlight we can convert into stored energy until we are non-trivially detracting from the amount of energy that reaches the earth’s surface.

  It’s probably an absurd proportion of solar panel coverage.

    Surface area of the earth: 510,064,472 km²

    So at any moment ~255..000.000 km² of the earth is hit with solar radiation. I think we have a while before it becomes an issue.
