The article does not say this, but I suspect something like capitalism will still be required. A percentage of energy tokens may go unused because many people may be happy to consume less than their alloted share. The job of capitalists will be to compete for these surplus tokens ensuring the energy supply is not wasted and that society as a _whole_ remains "energised".
