first of all there is the fact of energy density. the thermodynamics say energy that is dissipated, heat, moving molecules distributed over a large area, cannot be used. i think this is sort of a stretch, but for now it really helps to envision the concept, bc the reason why industrial civilization exists is that dense, low entropy, if you will, energy from fossil fuels, that set off its explosion.
