How much energy does it take to balance a broom. L1 is unstable, but that is a benefit not a hinderance. It means that when you want to leave you just "lean" in the direction you want to go while to leave the moon you have to fight its gravity.
Not only can you leave without much effort, you can also get there with as little. You just have to plan well and accept a long trip.
Using the Lagrange points requires a different philosopy to mission planning.
