Energy Accounting is the hypothetical system of istribution, proposed by Technocracy Incorporated, which would record the energy used to produce and distribute goods and services consumed by citizens in a Technocracy, or Technate as the movement calls it. The units of this accounting system would be known as Energy Certificates, or simply Energy Units. Energy accounting would replace money in a Technate, but unlike traditional currencies, energy units could not be saved or earned, only distributed evenly among a populace.
