The Associated Massive Energy Scale
It is a simple matter to calculate the amount of energy required to vaporize the
steel in the upper 110 floors in one of the WTC towers.

1 2 = ( ∆ + + ∆ + ) = 7.5 ×10 (Equation 1)
The terms in the equation relate to the energy required to raise the steel from room
temperature to the melting point, change phase from solid to liquid, raise the temperature
from the melting point to the boiling point, and change phase from liquid to gas,
respectively.3
If you consider that this amount of energy, J
14 7.5 ×10 , which is only 50% of the
energy required to vaporize all the steel from both towers was pumped into the towers
during the collapse time, approximately 10 seconds, then the power necessary to vaporize
the steel would be 5.7x1013 Watts. This is over 5 times the total power output of the
entire earth26 including all carbon combustion, nuclear power, wind power, hydroelectric
power, etc. This is with no loss.
