Abstract
We show that the quasilocal mass defined by Wang and Yau is not well-defined at spatial infinity. It approaches neither the ADM mass nor the ADM energy. We suggest an alternative scheme which retains all the desirable characteristics of the Wang-Yau mass and, in addition, asymptotes to the ADM energy at infinity.
