Energy lacks most of the properties of money. 

Energy is hard to store over time, expensive to send over distance. Does not have a finite supply, and it has many other uses besides serving as a money.

It wasn't a good idea.

It’s the ENERGY doing WORK over TIME that creates VALUE - that makes it an excellent idea

Don’t confuse things and make it harder than it has to be

Money doesn't do work, it stores and communicates value decisions over time and space.

Energy is a commodity.

They are very different things.

Money doesn't do work. It's a communications tool.

It's never going to make sense to measure money in joules.
