No.We wont be gettin energy from sun forever.Sun gives energy on account of thermonuclear reactions which uses primarily hydrogen as fuel.There is a chain of reactions happening in the Sun,hydrogen getting converted to helium,helium forming carbon etc.
Elements upto iron are formed in Sun.The energy output of sun will stop when it runs out of fuel.On the basis of E=mc*c it estimated that sun will last for another 5 billion years after which it will become a red giant and eventually a black dwarf

No...not forever,
the supply of hydrogen fuel in the core of the Sun is only sufficient to power it for perhaps around another 5 billion years according to theoretical calculations......

No, nothing last forever. While it may not go out in our time, it is true that one day the sun will go out. My only hope is that we have a way to move to another planet before that happens.

stars continue to burn untill they exaust there fule sorce ,eventual the sun will no longer be able to provide suficiant heat for the earth resulting in a slow building ice age that will envelop the earth and kill all life save bacteria, or supper nova destroying any thing in its path casting what planets arnt evaporated out of curent orbit and leaving them to wander until caught in some other gravitational pull either causing the distruction or creating a new orbit

No the Sun will eventualy die out. That will happen in about 5 billion years.

No. Current estimate 5 billion years.

no, the sun will eventually burn out, but that will be in millions, even billions of years, and the world could have ended by then, so no one will care, cause we'll be dead

The sun will eventually supernova, destroy the solar system, and then turn into a Black hole sucking the remaining fragments into its core.

No. The Sun will eventually "burn" itself out (though the thermonuclear reaction cannot be simplified to simply "burning"), and it will implode. But do not despair, for we will be long dead.
