It is the Law of Conservation of Energy, aka the First Law of Thermodynamics.
The concept of energy is one of the most fundamental concepts of science.
This is the first law of thermodynamics and it is worth saying in several ways.
(A) Energy is conserved.
(That is short and accurate answer but non-scientists are not used to the word "conserved" being used in this way. But, scientists use it to mean "Stays the same" all the time.)
(B) Energy can change from one form of energy to another, but energy can not be created or destroyed.
(This is a fundamental law of Nature and the first law of thermodynamics, that energy of a closed system can never change. Sometimes it is said that "the total energy of the universe is always the same." )
Discussion:
Nature provides us with the Law of Conservation of Energy, whichever way you want to say it. It was about 400 years ago that science started to understand energy. At first it was only kinetic energy, the energy of motion, that was observed unchanged.
Soon this was expanded to include gravitational potential energy. Later this expanded to other forms such as elastic potential energy, heat energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, electrical and many other forms, including the famous "mass energy," E=mc2.
How grand to know that the first law of thermodynamics says that we will never run out of energy. Alas, the second law says that Entropy is the problem and energy cannot always be used to do work.
Aside: There is a big discussion in cosmology now about "dark energy." This should not be confused with the possibility that maybe energy is not conserved. The truth is that cosmologists have no idea what this "dark energy" is and it is not even a sure thing that it is energy.)
The Conservation of Energy Law.
Yes, energy can never be created or destroyed. it can be altered or transfered.
Law of Conservation of energy
The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another.

the conservation of energy
No. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy may be neither created nor destroyed.
[the law of conservation of energy]Wrong: The law of conservation of energy says that energycannot be created or destroyed. Do not change an answer unless you know the answer.The correct answer is the Law of Conservation of Charge, which states that the net charge of an isolated system remains constant.
Law of Conservation of energy
The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another.
No Energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only change form Matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. -- - -- Like stated above, energy can't be destroyed nor created. Only harnessed to only than be used and changed in form. Matter however CAN be destroyed, its exactly what an atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb or nuclear reaction plant does; annihilates molecules harnessing its potential energy. The law of conservation basically states that you either have matter or you have energy.

The Conservation of Energy Law.
the of conservation of energy states that energy neither is created or destroyed it changes states the of conservation of mass states that mass neither is created or destroyed it only changes state
matter. In one of the sciency laws it clearly states that matter is neither created nor destroyed.
Law of energy conservation. It shows that energy cannot be created or destroyed
