GigaNuclear

On the Switzerland/France border they are completing the worlds largest and most powerful particle accelerator called LHC. Over 17 miles, all underground, this baby is a monster. This thing is extraordinary for two reasons: The amount of power it uses is simply overwhelming and the location was chosen because of the Nuclear Power that France uses. They get 80 percent of their power from Nuclear. Why we don't do this is beyond me because it is the cleanest, safest and best way to deal with our energy problem. You can drive a Prius but it will get its electric power from coal fired plants. You can't get electric from puppy dog kisses and baby otters playing. You can still be green, but just glow in the dark

Also what is amazing is the amount of information this thing will generate. They say they can generate 40.000 gigs of information per second. Holy Crap. They have what they call a GRID system to transfer this data to almost 7,000 Physics around the world. They tested this system and they can move the content of one DVD movie in 7 seconds. You know at some point they will get bored and fire Top Gun to somebody just because they can.

The only downside of this thing that i can see is they predict possibility of it creating an un-stabble black hole. So France gets swallowed up, I'll get cheese and condescension from somewhere else.
