It's my admittedly simplistic understanding that the closer to light speed you go, the higher the energy requirements get until they are infinite. Additionally, time dilates the closer you get to c, and when traveling at that speed time essentially stops.

No doubt one of the several physwhizzes here will pull me up by the short hairs, but that's what I've gotten out of my layman's readings.
