Total energy is always conserved (First Law of Thermodynamics), but on the other hand, useful energy can and will be converted into unusable energy (Second Law of Thermodynamics). The wasted or unusable energy is quite often in the form of heat. Also, if heat energy gets dispersed, it is less useful than when it is concentrated.
