I donno. More energy is actually more matter/energy, which automatically means more gravity. And if gravity has a minus sign (as it must to cancel out matter/energy and result in a net zero for the universe), then this new dark energy stuff must be generating more gravity, which automatically cancels it out and we'd still have a net energy component of zero for the universe. Makes sense? We need Physicist to come to our aid.
I was out of my depth when I was looking for my boots this morning, so I'll wait for Phys to come and decode for the laymen.
