No, it says that it can't be destroyed, just changes form. We are charged for recovering energy (such as oil) from where it is located and delivering it to market. The energy from oil becomes our momentum in our cars (among other things), which then becomes heat in our brakes.
We aren't being charged for using it up. If we were, we would be charged a replacement cost for that oil (e.g.) that we use up so future generations wouldn't be shortchanged.
Unfortunately, we are acting as though our resources are unlimited. This is what I refer to as the "conservative paradox". Conservatives never conserve because they believe all things grow on trees.

There is a cost for the extraction and marketing of it. In addition, we must also be reminded that although the First Law of Thermodynamics states that:
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transfered
it does not mean that it will always be in a usable form. It will run out if we arent careful.
