RE: The Hercules laser, the most powerful in the world, has doubled its power

Interesting article, but it is not possible that this lazer produces the same energy as that receives the earth from the sun in 12 minutes. 1,000 TW is a huge power, but it can only be sustained for a fraction of a second. It does not take as much energy as the energy received by the sun in a second or even a milisecond...
