Measuring success this way is nonsensical. Is there anything that is too cheap to meter? Are other forms of energy also unsuccessful until they produce energy too cheap too meter? This isn't serious criteria.

The argument is that this is a silly framing with which to judge success. I agree!

I for one am extremely content consuming energy, more than half of which is nuclear, followed by hydro. It is very successful.
