Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes?

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday April 28, 2010 @11:57PM from the what-could-go-wrong dept.

newviewmedia.com writes "Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory plan on using a laser the size of three football fields to set off a nuclear reaction so intense that it will make a star bloom on the surface of the Earth. If they're successful, the scientists hope to solve the global energy crisis by harnessing the energy generated by the mini-star."
