It is common, when looking at a proposed mechanism or feature in space to bump the numbers against a reasonable thermodynamic model: Is there enough energy in the system/mechanism to explain the behavior? Dark Energy has no known thermodynamics - no known source of energy. When Dark Energy is proposed as a cosmic solution, there is no way to count calories.
