The article probably explains it but I think it's important to mention every time. It's not the total energy put into the experiment (charging up the equipment etc); It's the energy put into the collision.
It's an important measure but it must also produce more than is put into the entire system, and even more than that to be financially viable and cover costs.
Thank you for repeating it. It is important to indicate when engineering break even occurs. Before that... Neat, but still a long way to go.
