It is an absolute myth than "energy" can be "directed" anywhere. That is 100% not how entropy works. We have been played for absolute fools.

??? energy can be directed? it just loses shit while you do???

burning natural gas releases energy stored in the hydrocarbon bonds of the gas which is directed as heat towards my bowl full of weed which gets me high

explain that if that ain't how entropy do

It goes in all directions my dude, it just happens that your bowl is one of them and is in an energy receptive state, which invites the energy in, which some fraction of the energy acquiesces.

No 'direction' needed or possible.
