I thought about it. It sounds like using energy to make a system move in a direction away from the point of lowest energy (decayed fields on a rocky, dead planet), which is basically what the Universe and the human race do for a living. So it's not crazy.

Whether or not it's the best use of energy, and whether or not the effects on future generations is good or not, I don't know.
