This is exactly the kind of weapon system one would want if they were to deal with climate change in the most inhumane way possible.

Just ignoring climate change, then building a secure perimeter to keep away anyone fleeing from the consequences of it.

The "best" part of energy weapons like that is that they just need energy. Meaning that no one has to constantly restock ammunition. They can even run off renewables.

Making the whole thing scalable. Fully automated energy weapon sentry guns on the border to the global south.

This is going to be the future, isn't it? Jesus Christ.
