paradox writes "Reuters is reporting that scientists have found a massive black hole 40,000 light-years away that could change the way scientists think about black holes. The mass of this particular black hole is 14 times the mass of the sun, compared to the typical mass of 3 to 7 suns."

Uhm, you do know how far away "40,000 light years" is? Assuming you could even travel that far, and find a way to tap the energ, how would you send it back? If you used a laser beam, it would take 40,000 years to get here! I rather hope the energy crisis will be over by then!
