The Power Transmission Laser

The power transmission laser can be used to convert excess power into cash. It operates like a SMES unit, with two major differences: It can store a much greater amount of power (one petajoule, or 10^15 joules), but it cannot output to the power grid. Instead, it fires a high-energy laser out into space, presumably at someone willing to pay to have a high-energy laser fired at them.
