The UK helped create CERN in 1954 and the US has observer status.

That's actually cheap. $24 million.

The pentagon's electrical bill was $3.7 billion over the six-year period.

Depends where they're getting it from, if they've struck any deals (a la Tesla) or if they're generating any themselves.

Also, a large amount of that energy is going into superconductors. So practically no wastage.
