Neither matter nor energy can be created (by humans, given our current understandings of physical and the properties of our universe) only transformed. E = MC*C theorizes that there is a direct correlation between energy and matter and that C*C (Speed of light squared) suggest that there is an AWFUL lot of energy in matter. Thats at the nuclear level of interaction. At the chemical level, energy can be store and released by creating and releasing certain bonds. Since we know we can't create any energy, or matter, we can only transform it, we know that the energy released during a chemical reaction had to been put there previously. Now, we may not have put it there. So, that gives us some opportunities.

Hydrogen, can be burned in the presence of Oxygen and you'll get two things one, a chemical energy release and 2) a combining of 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, that H20 stuff colloquially known as water. We could even take the water, transform it into hydrogen, dissassociate the oxygen and burn it. Only challenge is we'd have us the same energy we released to break them apart. Now, there are an untold number of ways to create these chemical reactions, but they all have to honor the "we can't create energy or matter theory. There are these really cool devices that take water, solar energy carbon dioxide, strip the hydrogen out of the water, combining it with the carbon dioxide and release the 2 oxygen atoms and makes a substance we can burn, releasing that stored solar energy! Really cool stuff, very ecologically friendly too!

I am sure that we understand, we live in a semi closed system, earth. This semi closed system gets almost all our energy from nuclear energy transformations. Some of it is stored via a very large number of mechanisms. A very large amount of it gets radiated back out into space in a variety of forms. We can lever MANY of those forms, heck we can even create a lot of our own, but it is just moving one thing from one place to another, no magic, yet! (How does Jean Gray get all the energy to lift all that stuff? Is she tapping gravitational energy, does she store it in some kind of cellular structure, severing covalent bonds? Tapping mitichlorians? Now that's worthy of analysis!)
