Researchers at weapons facility achieve 2MJ of heat for a cost of tens of MJ of electricity and chemical energy to power single-shot laser fired at target that took at least gigajoules to produce for method that will never have any relevance to energy generation.
But they pinky swear that at some point they might think about electricity so keep giving them a big chunk of the civialian energy budget.
