the second law of thermodynamis to explain why energy cannot be recycled.?

Answer 1

I would state that energy cannot be completely recycled, although it can be partially recaptured and the reused.. Using the second law, any thermodynamic work done results in expending free energy.

We have some machines that recapture energy. For example, our hybrid cars will use fossil fuels to gain kinetic energy as speed. When the brakes are applied, a generator bleeds some energy off and stores the energy in the form of electrochemical energy in the battery. This energy may then be used to accelerate the car to gain kinetic energy again. Eventually the losses in the system itself and frictional loses due to air resistance and rolling resistance of the car will require that the energy source be replenished, which is the gas tank.

Answer 2

All mass is composed of electromagnetic energy. This is evidenced when a high energy photon strikes the inner area of an atom and forms an electron pair. The process is able to be reversed with electrons are converted into electromagnetic energy. What this indicates is that our universe is composed of a singular form of energy - electromagnetic. This value is what physical time is. This is seen in the value of time itself in the physics trilogy, E = mc2, c = E/c2, and c2 = E/m. Notice that in each equation the only unchanging value is that of "c2". It is this value that our universe is made up of, and even though it is evidenced as either mass or energy, it is always "c2".
