if lasers produce so much power why can't we use it as an energy source

Power is not energy. Terawatt lasers produce very short pulses.towuzzi said:some can produce terawatts of power so where do they get all that energy to feed into the laser

A laser is a device that produces intense, focused, and coherent light. It stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
There are several types of lasers, such as gas lasers, solid-state lasers, and semiconductor lasers. Each type has different properties and is used for specific applications.
Lasers produce energy by converting electrical or chemical energy into light energy. This process is called stimulated emission, where atoms release photons of light in a specific direction.
Lasers have several advantages as an energy source, including high energy efficiency, precise control over the direction and intensity of the light beam, and the ability to deliver energy to remote or hard-to-reach places.
Lasers have many diverse applications, such as cutting and welding in manufacturing, medical procedures, communication and data storage, and scientific research. They are also used in military and defense technologies.
