I wonder if energy drain is caused more by uncertain outcome or by brain working hard to find arguments to make decision.

Yup as the gp described, once you've made a decision the energy involved is all in implementation (and wasted worries). But actually exploring possibilities requires imaginging all angles and consequences as if they were real... at the same time. Can be very energetically consuming.
