Energy Economy	comment	Some works of science fiction and fantasy have societies or groups that use energy as a monetary unit. This is not about what the Enron Corporation used to do, buying and selling energy; this trope is about cases when the energy or energy source itself is the money. In some cases, an energy crisis is equivalent to an economic recession. While this has not been Truth in Television yet, it has been seriously proposed in the past, most notably by R. Buckminster Fuller, as well as by Technocracy, Inc. during its heyday of the 1930s. This is a sub-trope of Practical Currency. In economics, this would be a form of Commodity Money: it is used as currency but can serve another function. Examples

Energy Economy / int_138bfed0	comment	Transarctica centers on a train/base that runs on two kinds of coal, lignite and anthracite. Since the world is in the grip of a new ice-age and heating is at a premium, lignite is used a the main currency. Anthracite is more energy efficient, less volatile, but more rare, if that runs out, you'll have to fuel your engines with cold cash. If you're in a major hurry, throwing some cash on the boiler may be worth it.

(Spending one air dollar would allow you to transport one kilogram one kilometer in the WTU's aircraft, or something like that.)

Energy Economy / int_19505f68	comment	Startopia not only has energy as currency, but uses power, which power boosters, convert the energy (currency) into power for buildings, not enough power and buildings shut down, too much energy being used for power and you go bankrupt AND buildings shut down. Extra energy could also be procured by recycling stuff, making the Polvakian Gem Slugs, who excreted the high energy content Turdite, the richest creatures in the universe. That's right, they literally crapped money. Cargo is used to supply shops that use the respective items such as food for Dine-O-Mats (Food/Mineral Ores) but if it lacks the kind of cargo needed then it will use energy as a back up but it can suck down too much energy if you're not careful.

Energy Economy / int_2ae406c1	comment	Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri has energy credits, the more energy collecting facilities, the higher the income. Notably, the main energy facilities are solar collectors (which produce more energy based on elevation—the higher up you are, the more energy you produce) and tidal harnesses: both clean, renewable energy. This has two reasons, one Watsonian, one Doylist. On the Watsonian side, this is partly necessity—Planet has virtually no fossil fuels to speak of. On the other hand, the Doylist reason becomes obvious when considering the third method of gaining energy, the thermal borehole: it produce massive amounts of energy, but is likely to attract the wrath of Planet if you're not careful. This type of economy is reused in the Spiritual Successor Civilization: Beyond Earth.

They simply don't have enough gold and silver to make coins for all the goods they're able to produce, and their ruler refuses on principle to issue unbacked fiat currency. One proposal is to use standardised amounts of stored magic, since it's inherently valuable but also will naturally tend to fluctuate in value to match productivity.

It's mentioned that a common problem amongst new bureaucrats is the literal consumption of their entire operating budget. In addition, ambrosia can be transformed into...well, pretty much anything, really.

Energy Economy / int_6a8aff51	comment	In The Stormlight Archive, the currency unit is "spheres", small glass beads with gemstones inside. However, the gems are valued almost exclusively because they're the only way to transport or store the titular Stormlight, which is the fuel for all magic on this world including both the Magitek fabrials that create food, allow for communication, provide heat, etc and the more mystic Surgebindings that some can perform. In later books in the series, it's revealed that this applies in Shadesmar to an even greater degree. In the Physical, gemstones are recharged with Stormlight by the highstorms on an almost weekly basis, but in Shadesmar, where the highstorms don't have this effect, Stormlight itself is the currency rather than the gemstones. Rhythm of War also reveals that Investiture itself is the primary currency among worldhoppers. This would make Roshar, where Investiture literally rains from the sky, a metaphorical goldmine... except that Stormlight is metaphysically linked to Roshar, and cannot be taken off-planet.

Energy Economy / int_e80fa454	comment	In Battleborn, shards are this during missions and multiplayer matches. They are basically this game's equivalent to the gold obtained during typical MOBA matches. As stars are put under duress in a Darkening process, they exude waves of energy which coalesce into plasmite crystals (aka "shards") when they pass through certain particles or atmospheres. These shards are highly charged with energy, and therefore, are prized where resources are low. In game, shards are found from destroying Exploding Barrel-like canisters, and large shard crystals as well as occasionally as dropped loot from defeated enemies. In missions, the large shard crystals tend to used to power obstacles which open up once said crystals are destroyed. When enough shards are obtained, they can be used to purchase turrets, traps, and drones; activate gear; and in certain Multiplayer modes, buy more powerful Minions. In The Void's Edge, they can be used to give Wolf a temporary upgrade from among three options with one upgrade per person.

Since it's essential in powerful ritual spells and magic item creation, control and trade of Vis is the basis of the economics of magic covenants. It's exchanged for favors, support, access to libraries and in places where it's scarce — such as the Roman Tribunal — for enormous amounts of money. The vis "tainted" by the power of the Techniques (magic language "verbs") is much more valuable than that which is linked with Forms (names).
