I will never set foot in New York city again either!
What a relief!Hmm. But how will we power these massive nuclear waste cleaning lasers?
Not the periodic table, but rather the table of things that periodically go bad.

Yawning - I have at least one friend in the set that will never get caught in a group yawn. And they see that as GOOD thing. Sigh.

For my part, just reading about it brought one on. *rolls eyes*
Am I a sheep, or what?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that was made to yawn by the article.

Even writing about it now I'm fighting a yawn.

I was yawning, too...

And, if I understand the theory behind the lasers correctly, they actually don't use that much energy -- the thing with pulsed lasers is that they compress a small amount of energy into a very short amount of time, thus getting a large power (energy/time).

So when they say it has more energy in it than all the power plants, they mean for that nanosecond (and perhaps in the near future, picosecond). It's a cute, stupid media contrivance, which sounds impressive but merely confuses.

So sayeth PHYSICS EDUCATION MAN!

My work here is done.
