Go Fred. That's the big problem when people talk about directed or
environmental energy weapons--they tend to forget that nucs are the primary
known powersource. They also forget the law of the inverse square. Would it
also be worth mentioning that key sites have been hardened for years
(particularly the old, 'Cold War' installations) for just that reason? My
recollection was that entire development efforts (such as GA chips) were
pursued for these reasons.
Sigh, no general sense of science or history.
