And it always balances. Energy moves around the system, but the system doesn't gain or lose energy, it is always at 1. A perfect economy.

I'm not sure I entirely agree with this... I don't think it is perfectly balanced because we introduce new energy into the system every day with sunlight and energy also escapes the planet through the atmosphere as well. The problem with global warming is that for the first time in millions of years the system is unbalanced, we're keeping more energy than we're sending out.

I agree that nature might be unkillable... but it could be reduced to a few bacteria deep in the ocean if an asteroid hit.

Nature isn't confined to the earth. Nature is nature, all that is. We are inside it, and can never be outside of it. The earth is just a little clump of chemicals in the grand scheme of it. The entire system is nature. All the energy of the big bang is still equal to 1.

Ah, I see.

If the universe is still expanding (expanding into what?) is more energy being created?

I guess if there is only one universe and it isn't going to crash into another expanding one, then the energy gets spread wider. Eventually, I guess it will contract again?
