At what electromagnetic frequency does consciousness emerge? 300 EHz? 3 Hz? Somewhere in between? If a cow farts in a pasture, moving the tall grass and thus releasing “energy”, is this too a form of consciousness? I’d say the thought expressed by the energy released from bovine flatulence is as equally malodorous as your hypothesis.
If you are such an expert in this field you should know that energy is blind.
Just try to put your little finger where the electricity is running.
You may even die.
In nature energy is stored everywhere and in the matter.
In this way it doesn't create problems except in rare cases such as storm, lightning or other natural phenomena.
Different types of matter and other sources like oil store different types of energy so it is not possible to say that all types of energy are the same.
Not only that but even the same type of energy stored in the same type of matter can express itself
at different times.
It depend on many factor such as the age of that matter such as the place where that matter is located and a myriad of other circumstances so your quick conclusion and judgement to such a complex issue is worth very very little.

Quote:Classic argument from ignorance. Just because you cannot explain how consciousness works, doesn't mean Gawddidit!
Consciousness is superior to matter therefore it can not be created by matter.
Take your car.
Can the car create you or you create the car?
You never thought about that Traveler did you?
