"Energy too cheap to meter" was already an obvious scam with nuclear power in 1954* (because plants obviously cost TONS of money to build/operate/decomission).

I don't see how fusion power is going to change that.

edit: * "Obvious scam" might be a bit harsh, but it was definitely naive overenthusiasm at the very least.
