As an alternative to burning coal, oil, and
natural gas to generate 334 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, 7.6
kilograms of antimatter could be used. With next 10 to 20 years,
antimatter energy will become economical; and the chemicals will be used to make
products to bring every country into the 21st century.
