The energy produced from
Matter-AntiMatter annihilations
is equal to
the mass times the square of the speed of light (E=mc2).

Politicians are know for their understanding of dangers
and opportunities:

From the examples, matter-antimatter interactions
can cause tremendous
damage or become an incredible source of energy.
