## Energy is universal, but the energy storage makes such a stake non-universal.

The conversion of energy from one type to another is not frictionless.

from PL - I’ve not followed the space-time thing and not sure I understand it.  But it seems important. We are all focused on money as a medium of exchange, but for many people money as a store of value is how they think of it (despite what the economists will tell them). Most people I think would be happy to accept a pension provision in kWh rather than an annuity in an uncertain currency in 20 years or so.  Perhaps one can shake up the life insurance/pension business.
