Antimatter energy makes atomic energy look tiny.

Indeed it does. Both are based on the equivalence between matter and energy. In atomic energy--whether fission or fusion--it is only the differences in the masses of the before and after products that are converted to energy. The percentage difference as a mass fraction is fairly small. In a matter/antimatter collision, everything is converted to energy!

Something like the Hormone Replacement Stuff that Art Bell advertises. :^))
