Yes, I'm sure they'd love to make them use less power. Seriously, they would, it would be awesome if they could do that and still get the same performance.
im pretty sure you missed her point, which was about that "should make war safer for everyone". which tbh is a pretty ******* stupid thing to say.
unless were talking about this big convention where the world agreed on having paintball matches instead of war.

the potential for rail guns to deliver supporting fire from up to 220 miles away -- around 10 times further than standard ship-mounted cannons -- with rounds landing more quickly and with less advance warning than a volley of Tomahawk cruise missiles.
OMG, the navy is going to invent a sniper Rohk! Me wants!
The more daunting challenge is the force of the rail gun itself: A few shots can dislodge the conducting rails -- or even damage the barrel of the gun.
It looks like they'll be spending a few years learning up their overheating skills though. 
Just have to wonder what th shells are currently made from and what kind of payload capacity do they push.

Well, currently Depleted Uranium rounds have some negative long-term effects on the landscape and people around which they're used, that's probably what he was referring to.

cripes. up to 220km...*runs away faster*
Anyway, BAE systems is British, or at least by name, so even if the Americans get it first it is still an achievement for us
That's OK--I'm sure you guys will listen to Reason.
I <3 Reason
The British also have alot of inventions on the defensive side that we use, so I think it balances out quite well.

220km!? Insane
It would take 4 hours on the Train to go that distance (at least in the UK) and now there's a cannon that can do the same to a projectile in 60 seconds or so?
No, Its 220 MILES
Thats approx. 354.055 Kilometers.
