Infrared, what wavelength?
Very long?
Heat?
Why not beam the sun with a mirror to heat up a boiler to make steam to
drive a generator to power the computer thatt then prints these press releases?
Seems simpler then lasers?
Not April one yet.

And you will be burned by IR just as well as by microwaves if it is pointed at you,
just as well as by focussed sunlight,
