Maybe they'll just harvest their energy.

Lol not yet. It's only net energy gain from the reaction. It still is only 1% of energy used by the whole system.

Cause 1980s lasers kinda sucked. If they replaced it with modern lasers they would be nearing 20%.

Hell they probably should just for the reduction in energy bill. 300 megajoules of energy for 2 megajoules of laser is terrible
