IIRC, R.Mackey did some calculations and came up with figures for the amount of energy that would be needed to power such a weapon. This exceeded the power available from various sources (he listed them) by a factor of a million or so.

R. Mackey is my hero. I wonder if he could hook me up with Lisa Nowak.

ETA: For Christ's sake, I'm kidding about the Nowak thing.
