There is another potential problem, not so far discussed. People might look askance at someone who wants to start building a 100GW laser array, methinks.
A similar problem cropped up in the obscure novel "Farside Cannon"; although the intended use in that case was asteroid deflection.
It's yet another example of the truism that powerful tools make powerful weapons. Also true the other way around; use of nuclear explosions in engineering projects has been seriously discussed, for example.
