If we wish to colonize it.

Jimbo: Unfortunately, no. You shift outward, you get less energy overall.

The problem with a lot of solar activity is that the ecology will never have a stable climate to work with. This does not mean life cannot exist, but it suggests that great extinctions might happen more often. This will possibly make the development of intelligent life, which needs time to mature, difficult. If intelligent life does develop, it then must develop quickly so it can adapt to such events, should they occur.
