Recently some authors concluded that the energy and momentum of the Fiedman universes, flat and closed, are equal to zero locally and globally (flat universes) or only globally (closed universes). The similar conclusion was also done for more general only homogeneous universes (Kasner and Bianchi type I). Such conclusions originated from coordinate dependent calculations performed only in comoving Cartesian coordinates by using the so-called {\it energy-momentum complexes}. By using new coordinate independent expressions on energy and momentum one can show that the Friedman and more general universes {\it needn't be energetic nonentity}.
