In the articles that I’ve read, they always give the figures as megajoules: ….achieving a yield of more than 1.3 megajoules (MJ). Sounds really impressive. But if you convert to kWh it’s not so exciting - 0.36 kWh. If that were electricity, it worth about 4 cents!

Perhaps. but I’m still skeptical. Forgot to mention that they also blew up a diamond doing it. It’ll be great if it’s a viable source of energy and all. Just don’t think I’ll hold my breath
