One thing that's always struck me as odd about Star Trek and Stargate is why, if matter can be converted into energy and back again through transporters and (at least in Star Trek) power from the ships can make objects from scratch, why don't they beam up inanimate material and feed its energy straight into the ships' systems?
The energy needed to transport matter must be far less than the energy the matter contains because otherwise the power output of the ships' generators must be HUGE to accommodate the transporters
