If anything, it should be backed in gold, then it really would take off. Gold has been the unit of value for all of civilization. To change that would be an idea on the order of the wheel.

Only if you could store energy in a way that had a halflife as long as gold and was just as accessible, or if oxygen suddenly got rare.
