Or possibly Move Venus into Mars's orbit and vice avers and see if we can't terraform Venus into a habitable planet. (pointless doing it in its current orbit - it gets too hot already and the problem will only get worse as the sun ages and its orbit could possibly be swallowed by a red giant sun).
You mean in about another 4 billion years? Yeah, I don't think we'll be around then. Lets get through the next 100 years first before we talk about the Sun expanding in search of fuel.
