It's just fine. An evil cleric couldn't do it, though.

Fair enough. I've never read Eberron.

Ok... thats kinda logic, since the wizard decides himself which spells he can cast, while the cleric recieves his spells from his deity...
Do you think it should count as a "good" act to cast a [good] spell... so if the char casts PfE before every encounter, eventually he will shift his alignment closer to good...?

Yes.
It doesn't seem wrong to me at all.
As an Evil Wizard, there is nothing you have to fear more than...
No, seriously, I'd wonder why the EW learned it in the first place, as PfG is probably more useful, but PfE does help quite a bit, and it's not uncommon that evil fights against evil.
I'd find it more odd to see a good-aligned character with PfG.

You know, I'm so sure I saw it stated somewhere in 3E. I spent hours looking through DotF, the DMG, etc, for a passage I was convinced I'd seen.
But I've never found it again, so I can't point you at a rule anywhere that agrees that casting a [good] spell is a good act.
One thing that's occasionally pointed out (by Thanee usually, from memory) is that calling devils and demons makes use of a Magic Circle vs Evil spell... and so an Evil conjurer must frequently cast a [Good] spell to further his nefarious ends.
Edit - Oh, and there Thanee is now!
