Well, thermodynamics is the science that studies this. According to the the first law of thermodynamics, all energy in all forms are conserved. The main types of energy we consider is kinetic, potential and internal energy. You may not be familar with Internal energy but it is another form of energy that we lump the energy of chemical bonds and kinetic and potential energies (ON THE MOLECULAR LEVEL) into it. Internal energy is proportional to the temperature of the object.

∙ 12y agoGenerally speaking energy is wasted through heat transfer to the surroundings due to the temperature difference between the current-carrying conductors and the surrounding atmosphere -never to return! In the case of buildings, however, some of this so-called 'lost energy' (e.g. from lighting systems, etc.) actually contributes to the heating of that building, so is not completely wasted.

Is it always easy to collect wasted energy and use it?
Once the energy is wasted, you can't convert it back to useful energy.Once the energy is wasted, you can't convert it back to useful energy.Once the energy is wasted, you can't convert it back to useful energy.Once the energy is wasted, you can't convert it back to useful energy.
What is heated by the thermal energy wasted by a food mixer?
kinetic energy is wasted
What is the usefull and wasted energy in a hair dryer?
Sound energy from the hair dryer is wasted.
Why is heat the most common form of wasted energy?
Heat energy is the most wasted form of energy.
What happens to wasted energy from a boiler?
the energy wasted by the system(boiler) is gained by the surrounding atmosphere

What does it means that a of energy might take more energy to harness that it provide?
It means that we would get less energy out of that source than we put into it, so the net result is wasted energy.
Does photorespiration produce energy?
No, photorespiration actually wastes energy because no useful product is created when photorespiration occurs, and, as a result, the energy absorb from light earlier is wasted.
What is heated by the thermal energy wasted by a food mixer?
kinetic energy is wasted
Wasted energy produced by motor bike?
Noise and heat is wasted energy from motorcycles.

Most energy transformations produce what form of energy?
In most energy transformations, part of the energy is wasted. Much of the wasted energy is usually converted to heat.
What is the wasted energy from a rocket?
The wasted energy in a car is electrical energy
What energy is wasted well riding a bike?
Every time you have to brake, the speed you lose is wasted energy.
