To me, conservation of energy is on exactly the same footing as
conservation of charge. Energy is somewhat abstract, but so is
charge. Energy can be viewed as "stuff" that can flow across
the boundary, and so can charge. Energy can be formalized as a
completely abstract bookkeeping exercise, and so can charge.
