Not us. -- Posted by SpM at 10:15 am on Sep. 10, 2008 Quote: from GoodFairy13 at 6:12 pm on Sep. 10, 2008 They are the ones paying the bills. Not us.

The UK has tossed plenty of money at CERN over the years. -- Posted by The Samsoniteman at 10:33 am on Sep. 10, 2008 The UK helped create CERN in 1954 and the US has observer status. -- Posted by obvious child at 7:24 pm on Sep. 10, 2008 That's actually cheap. $24 million. The pentagon's electrical bill was $3.7 billion over the six-year period. -- Posted by JOZ at 5:42 am on Sep. 11, 2008 14 million euros a year to runn it is bugger in comparasion to the 8.6billion euros that they spent to make it -- Posted by DevilLord at 11:02 pm on Sep. 11, 2008 I dont thik that much electricity wud be suffiecient to wrk the LHC. CERN must be relying on some other sourse too. -- Posted by allsmiles at 4:10 am on Sep. 12, 2008 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.
