False.
While energy can be transformed between many forms (kinetic, potential, chemical, electrical, thermal, nuclear, etc.), the conversions are limited by physical laws—most importantly the second law of thermodynamics and practical inefficiencies. You cannot, for example, convert all thermal energy from a single-temperature reservoir completely into work (100% efficiency), and real processes always produce some waste (increase entropy).
