Energy Saver Control Panel trippin'

Whenever I try to open Energy Saver from the Sys Prefs, it will fail to open until I have tried to open some of the other Sys Prefs first.

I would like to throw out its preferences to see if that fixes it, but I can't find them. I looked in both `/Library/Preferences and /Library/Preferences to no avail. Where can I find it? Or is there a better answer? TIA
