Note
A plural that does real work, because each sense of energy behind it is both countable and uncountable. Where the singular names a capacity in general, the plural counts kinds or channels of it: one's energies are directed somewhere, and physics can compare the energies of two systems. In philosophical and theological writing the plural is often the normal form. It names the outward actions by which a being is known, set against its inner nature, or ousia.
