"I visited the Lawrence Livermore Laboratories in the mid 1980's and as
you drove along the highway, huge wind turbines were scattered
over the hills, their propellers whooshing away. I wonder how many wind turbines
would one need to ignite that laser for even one billionth of one second!

Thanks again for the story"

"so if I point that thing at my microwave lunch and zap it for 3 nanoseconds will it heat it up enough? http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/....ilies/rofl.gif"
Nano soup now that's a thought
