Energy cannot be reduced to just information: to do so would violate the laws of conservation of energy.
If one could reduce energy to mere patterns of information, one could conjure up an algorithm on a computer made via a certain amount of energy "E" and produce energy with that algorithm until one had more energy that what the cost of building the computer was -- "E".
And thus, since as we know free energy is not possible, then energy is not reducible to informative relations.
QED.
-- The question now becomes what is so "unique" about energy if it cannot be described in informative terms.
