Both the Positive and Negative Energy planes are neutral, and both planes are among the most hostile in the multiverse. The positive energy plane is more or less like the heart of a star, and the negative energy plane is an empty void of ever-devouring entropy: both will happily obliterate anyone who endures unprotected exposure to either.And technically the positive energy plane is more sterile than the negative energy plane is. You're more likely to find something living (in the general sense of the term) in - than in +.Precisely. Alignment has nothing to do with either plane or their energy, though one may be perverted to more 'evil' use just because most mortals are empowered by positive as opposed to negative energy. If most mortal life was empowered by negative energy, some people would be claiming that positive energy was evil and negative energy was good just based on which one was more capable of harming them. It's like a being made of ice claiming that fire is evil and amoral because fire can only harm it, and in the ice creature's worldview fire is unnatural and wrong, but that doesn't make elemental fire evil in any objective sense in the multiverse at large. None of the elements or energies have any link to alignment, and claims of good or evil about them are entirely subjective. Thankfully 3.x has retained this neutrality of the energy types.</blockquote>
