Don't be too sure. An engineer/SF writer by the name of Robert Forward has
actually designed practical antimatter-based power systems using
contemporary tech, and I heard some weeks ago that there's some Swiss
outfit set up to begin manufacturing antimatter on a regular basis. (That
was a news blurb, and I haven't been able to find any more info on it,
though.)
Sleep tight. ;)
