If energy cannot be created or destroyed why are you concerned about running out of energy?

Energy cannot be destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another. This means that it can be transformed from one form that is easy to use, such as electricity, to a less useful form such as ambient heat.
After the useful energy has been transformed it still exists but we cannot use it in any meaningful way. That is why we need to conserve it as the supply of useful energy is not infinite.

We currently can only usefully use about 33% of fossil fuel energy
We can split the atom but are so frightened that it is a bad thing we won't
We seem to be incapable of meaningfull funding of the Science that will get us out of this mess
But my bet is on all life being dead on this planet shortly before the Gulf of Mexico Boils.
Running out of energy is a moot point.

What states that matter cannot be created or destroyed?
The law that states that matter cannot be created or destroyed is the law of conservation created by Lavoisier.

How and where material are destroyed and created?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed - it can merely be rearranged or converted to/from energy.

energy cannot be air, cannot be destroyed, cannot be created
What does it mean that energy is neither created nor destroyed?

What type of energy cannot be created or destroyed?

What are states that cannot be created or destroyed?
law of conservation
Does the law of conservation of mass apply today?
Yes because matter cannot be created or destroyed and mass is a property of matter. Therefore, mass cannot be created or destroyed.
Can energy be destroyed and created?
no energy cannot be created nor destroyed but it can change form
Matter that is indivisible cannot be?
The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed. This is not strictly correct, as mass and energy can be inter-converted, as in nuclear reactions. Thus, 'mass and energy cannot be created or destroyed' is more accurate.
