Perhaps, but imagine for a moment that the beam can be translated and well as focused. Then it's doesn't really matter... Take for example all the energy of a 250 watts light bulb and focus it into say a some extremely narrow band. It's quite reasonable to get enough energy to be able blast things... Not only that, but we know that such a narrow band can be used to disable equipment as well as people by over loading them with the resulting narrow band pulse or beam...
