No, the best economic/financial measurement would be the cost of the energy not the unit of energy. That wouldn't be economic or financial measurement of energy efficiency. That would be economic measure of how much energy costs. Higher prices don't imply lower efficiency, in fact they tend to cause an increase in efficiency as it becomes worth it to spend more money on the effort to reduce the use of the increasingly expensive commodity. If your defining "cost of energy per unit", or "total cost for all energy used", as "energy efficiency", well then you have pretty non-standard, even bizarre definitions. Such a definition would not only be different than the standard one, it would be one that has just about no support from anyone else. It isn't a "minority definition", its more like a "Humpty Dumpty" definition, where words mean whatever you say they mean. sundials.org And there isn't even any point in such a bizarre definition, its not like terms for those ideas don't exist, so you have to misuse a term for something else.
