[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 77657033, member: 241055"] Energy is just a label for an abstraction of the physical equivalence between certain properties of stuff, it doesn't exist in its own right; there's no such thing as 'pure energy'. When people talk of 'pure energy', they generally mean highly energetic (high frequency) photons. Stuff in a high-energy state is metastable with respect to its energy and will tend to lose energy in various forms until it reaches a more stable (low energy) state. Radioactive material does this by its unstable atoms decaying to less radioactive material and losing energy as energetic photons, and the kinetic energy of particles with mass. When there are no more unstable atoms, no more energy is released. The amount of energy released per atom depends mostly on the number of 'supernumerary' protons and/or neutrons in the atom, but the mechanisms involved are complex. Goods and services have utility in themselves. Money is a consensus abstraction, without goods and services to represent, it is useless and meaningless. [/QUOTE]
