Now that I think about it, if the Flame Imperishable is like one huge energy source, I can see why Morgoth was so keen to get his hands on it. In the Valaquenta, it is said that he often went into the Void, to search for the F-I, but didn't find it since it was with Iluvatar. That could explain his apparently aimless search.
