Other answers correctly talk about entropy. Here’s an analogy that might help with intuition.

A kilogram bar of solid gold is worth about $70K.

Take every atom of that gold and sprinkle them separately into the ocean. You haven’t used any gold: it’s all still there. The difference in value of the bar and the seawater containing the exact same gold is in the arrangement and availability of the gold, not its mere existence.

Same with energy stored in a battery vs stored in slightly warmer atmosphere.
