→A little clarification?: It's almost comical to claim that any meaningful statement of energy is found by multiplying mass times the speed of light squared.
Do neutral particles such as neutrons or uncharged atoms have energy, even though they have no charge?

:Energy can be viewed as the ability to do work, as in applying a force. Electrostatic charge can certainly do that.
:Mass applies, at most, a very weak force, and it has no connection with the speed of light squared. It's almost comical to claim that any meaningful statement of energy is found by multiplying mass times the speed of light squared.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:28, 14 August 2012 (EDT)
