for all the good they are
"Dare right they will," muttered Lupov." It all had a beginning in the original cosmic explosion, whatever that was, and it'll have an end when all teh stares rundown. Some run down faster than others. Hell, the giants won't last a hundred million years. Then sun will last ten billion years and maybe teh dwarfs will last weo hundred billion for all the good they are. But just give us a trillion years and everything will be dark. Entropy has to increase to maximum, that's all."

Eh.... I know the meaning of 'run down'. I just can't understand the meaning of 'for all the good they are' in which the word 'good' seems having no reference.

'For all the good they are' is a phrase, not a sentence.
