The Other Side of CERN: This Way the LHC Consumes the Electricity of 300,000 Households to Accelerate Particles Almost at the Speed of Light

Summary by Qué!
CERN consumes 1.3 teravatios-hours of electricity each year, a figure equivalent to the energy expenditure of 300,000 households operating simultaneously. It does not need to be physical to understand the magnitude: it is the same energy that a medium-sized Spanish city would need to heat its homes, turn on its lights and charge its mobiles for a whole year. The paradox is evident and that is why it engages. A laboratory dedicated to studying th…
