Actually, that's not the case, entirely.  The colorless energy symbol, when
used in a cost, denotes a generic cost, as you say.  However, there are
colorless energy cards that actually *produce* colorless energy.  It is
exactly an analog of the Magic: the Gathering mana system, where you have
generic mana costs that can be paid with any type of mana (well,
unrestricted mana, at least, for you other rules lawyers) and you can have
colorless mana in your mana pool.  The same symbol is used to indicate both
connotations.

Is not the production of colorless foo considered less potent then the
production of more specific foo types?  I don't want to think of clear
pyramids as inferior...
