The other option is that the Ion Power Cell only uses a fraction of the energy potentially available in the Ion Cube due to incomplete knowledge of how to harness the technology. This isn't exactly unprecidented: a 1-kilogram lump of coal, if perfectly annihilated, would produce energy equivalent to 1,340 Hiroshima bombs. Rather obviously, we can't harness anything like that amount of energy from burning a lump of coal.
