Pretty cool. But this:

> Assuming a 100% efficient laser, that is one watt-hour (3.6 kJ) of energy consumption for a maximum 0.5 Mbits of data storage.

Is not good

That's 16 kWh per GB. About $2-4, or a around ten years of cloud storage. But this data lasts forever. And the energy costs will certainly drop.

Wow super cool. Doesn’t seem that far off either
