The suns energy will not be used up in the next 50 years, nor will it be used up in the next 50,000 years. The hydrogen in the sun is being converted into heavier elements by the immense pressure and heat caused by the gravity of the sun, which is caused by it's huge density. The pressure and release of energy through chemical reactions causes the sun to emit it's energy into outer space. There is enough "fuel" left in the sun today to allow it to burn for another four to five BILLION years.

A cosmic accident of the scale; where a dwarf star like our sun blow up into pieces, can heppen, just like it's happening else where in our glaxy and our neighboring glaxies all the time. But according to scientists, who are constatntly studying the universe, our sun is only 12 to 14 Billion years old and has, not even reaced its mid life yet.
So it will be a long time coming, when (we) shall be lucky enough to see some cosmic fireworks, in our neck of woods.

Not likely, solar energy comes from the sun burning its hydrogen fuel. Our sun won't burn out for several billion years.

I do not think it will finish in 50 years.

Do you mean will we be able to harness the solar energy for everyday use, such as electricity, and to power automobiles? I think so, but the sun will not be finished for us to see.

Not quite, there is another Doomsday that will happen before that is even a possibility. Andromeda (our neighboring galaxy) is on a collision course with us. But that is not expected to happen for another 30 billion years. But it will happen before the sun goes out.

No the sun has enough Hydrogen to burn for another 5 billion years.

The sun will continue to shine like now for billions of years.
