these are power regeneration zones...they boost your power to 100 when
it is below 100

They are energy recharge stations. Go in there when your energy is at 
less than 100. (I had a hard time with this, too -- I kept flying in 
there at 150 energy and expecting something to happen.)

Heheheh.. those areas are the "power stations" in the mines, if your
lazers are below 100, the gold areas will recharge you back up to 100.

You'll hear the recharging sounds when it happens, if you're at 100
or above, nothing will happen when you fly through those areas.

Happy gaming.

RTFFAQ. They regenerate your energy to 100 if it isn't already _at_ 100.
And, in case you hadn't figured _this_ out, energy is reduced with shots
fired. Every four laser shots, every 3 spread shots (I think). Vulcan and
missiles don't reduce energy. If you have no energy, you can't fire laser
or spread.

Check the FAQ or the docs.

If you hang in the sparkly areas, your energy will be recharged (to a max of 
100.) If you're already >= 100, no effect.

None of the above.  The area you are describing is an energy recharge
area.  You can go there to restore energy that has been spent on lasers
or other weapons.
