A p-group is called powerful if every commutator is a product of p th powers when p is odd and a product of fourth powers when p = 2. In the group algebra of a group G of p-power order over a finite field of characteristic p, the group of normalized units is always a p-group. We prove that it is never powerful except, of course, when G is abelian.
