Black Hole Energy

Micro black holes, when no mass is added to them, usually evaporate instantly in the form of Hawking radiation. Since all their energy is converted into photons in this process, creating micro black holes might be a potential source of energy in future. Such energy source would be even more effective than antimatter, since half the converted energy in matter-antimatter reactions is lost in the form of neutrinos.
