OK, I will accept that information cannot be communicated faster than the speed of light. However, even in single particle EPR experiments MWI requires the creation of two particles for every one particle. That doubles the energy requirement. Considering the total number of particles created in the huge number of interactions resulting in what MWI calls new universes, where does all this extra energy come from. Personally I prefer to believe in the conservation of energy than MWI.
