2 reasons possible:
a) no energy bank in city
b) actual energy for faction total when click "next turn" is 0 or very little
always when costs for buildings or research or such will calculated and it's

That's an energy surge, something completely different to what he was
talking about (-1 Minerals for 10 years).

SMAC random events include +1 and -1 in Energy, Minerals or Food
