Enron has unveiled a new product called the 'Enron Egg,' the world's first at-home micro-nuclear reactor that can power an entire home for 10 continuous years. If that sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. The product is entirely fictional, created as a 'parody' in what appears to be part of an elaborate joke.

Enron collapsed in a spectacular scandal in 2001 and its name was purchased for just $275 by Connor Gaydos, an online figure who pulls off public stunts to mock misinformation and conspiracy theories. In a five-minute clip posted on the newly launched site Enron.com, Gaydos channels Steve Jobs as he unveils the Egg to a room of spectators at the 'Enron Power Summit.'.

'Ladies and gentlemen, we have harnessed the power of the atom,' he says. In the video, Gaydos claims the Enron Egg will revolutionize the power industry, the independence industry and the freedom industry. He also says Enron had partnered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide nuclear eggs to rapid response teams all over the world.

'Because that's what it's all about folks, making the world a better place one egg at a time,' he said. Enron has unveiled a new product called the 'Enron Egg,' the world's first micro-nuclear reactor that can power your entire home for 10 continuous years.

The fake nuclear reactor is reportedly made up of three key components: a heat-resistant outer casing, a heavy water pump and an integrated microchip. The casing is made of 'enronium isotope,' a fictional material, and is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures to 'protect the reactor's core while maintaining optimal thermal efficiency — even in the harshest conditions,' according to Enron.com.
