You will find that Mr. Lancaster believes that economics and
thermodynamics are not only related, but identical. Therefore
money and energy are synonymous and the words, as well as the
concepts they embrace, can be transposed or mixed at will.

For instance, since gasoline can be considered a form of stored
energy then it is also (by his definition) a form of stored
money. Therefore, you have gasoline in your bank and every time
you pay interest on your credit cards, it's costing you gallons
and gallons. Anyone who makes a profit is therefore creating
energy and, by extension, gasoline.

That fact that this is wrong will not stop him from pointing
you to his website where he explains this in great detail.
