Only the Avatar can energybend. Avatars can only pass on their native bending elements. It's immpossible for Bumi to energybend, hense the fact that energybending was a lost skill when people started bending the elements. (The gene fell out of DNA due to no one caring if they passed it on or not, while bending abilities were looked for to be passed down). People started bending the elements around 5,000+ years ago, that's assuming every Avatar cycle took 500 years like the last one did, and there has only been 10 full cycles.
