Worth noting: If you're running just about matched for energy & pop--as in, not in the red, but not much green--when you jump levels, you'll need [population] extra energy points. (Which is obvious from the "Energy needs = Population * Level" equation, but I hadn't consciously sorted out how that played out when increasing levels.)
So now I'm planning for that, trying to make sure I have excess energy points or unsurged energy assets when I go up my next level to cover for that.

That's what I'm still struggling with - I'm constantly in the red for Energy, and can't seem to get back into green. Trouble is, every time you level up, the multiplier comes into play (pop x level no.), requiring a big jump in Energy levels.
