The statement that is true based on the Law of Conservation of Energy is:

**Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical means.**

This principle states that the total energy in a closed system remains constant, although it can change forms (such as from potential energy to kinetic energy) but cannot be created or annihilated. The other statements provided are not accurate representations of the Law of Conservation of Energy.
