Go underground, because the heat from the Earth's core is the only major source that we are going to have.

Without the sun there will be no solar power, which means that fossil fuels will take on a renewed importance. On the bright side, the environment will be dying anyway so we can burn as much as we want for power and heat.

Food would quickly become an issue without sunlight to grow the plants, so massive underground farms with growing lamps will be needed in order to produce enough...produce. Animals will be difficult too, because livestock require plants to eat. Moving this whole operation underground will be time-consuming and difficult. I predict that most deaths will come from starvation as food runs out and this operation is not completed.

Water shouldn't be an issue. There are large reserves underground, and once the planet starts to get cold the now and ice can be used.

Air quality underground will probably be bad. I'm imagining something like Metro 2033 overall here.
