Just noticed this: The University of Rochester, NY is upgrading their "Omega" fusion research laser. The new Omega EP (Extended Performance) will be able to reach Petawatt power levels. (That's a million-billion watts, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 watts!)

So, how do I go about having one installed in my living room? You think they take Mastercard or Visa?
