There are TWO important laws about energy; you need to understand them both. They are known as the laws of thermodynamics. Actually there are a few more, but the first and second laws are extremely important to understand this question. If you ONLY understand the first one, you will only get an incomplete picture.* First Law of Thermodynamics: This is basically conservation of energy.

* Second Law of Thermodynamics: This can be expressed in many different ways; as a simple introduction, let's just say that useful energy can - and will - convert into unusable energy. This happens all the time, and is unavoidable.

For example, once a car uses up its fuel, the energy that was originally in the fuel is still out there somewhere, but in a "less concentrated", and utterly unusable, form. Among other things, the tires and the road have been heated up a bit.

Can energy be created and sometimes destroyed?

No. The laws of conservation of energy dictate that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Mass and energy are equivalent, so energy can only change forms.
