I've wondered about this idea myself.  By "using" this unrenewable
resource, when the planets do finally fall into the sun, it will
be man's fault again for speeding up the process.  Of course, it may
be a little difficult to bring this to people's attention since it
will be Billions And Billions of years before there is any noticable
effects...  :-)
