Besides, what else have we got to do with ourselves other than to expand? Assuming we don't blow ourselves up or have a collision with a comet, I would imagine we'll have a lot of time on our hands.

I believe that humans, even if they can live to 150 years old do not have the patience or the foresight to plan that far in advance... At present we do not have a lot of time on our hands... only 80 to 90 years on average.
Greedy souls that we are, we don't want to make the sacrifices neccessary to halt the overuse of fossil fuels... Our attitude is, let the future generations worry about it because, I don't want to pay for it...
I don't see this attitude changing anytime soon.
