Exactly. And if MBH at LHC turn out to be bigger a problem, we may no longer have to worry about peak oil. Nice ;-)

BTW, some folks are finding new ways of studying ultra-high energy particles in the decay chains of cosmic rays entering the earth atmosphere. Here's a link to a webcast of an excellent public conference on this (in french only):

Le Problème des Rayons Cosmiques d'Ultra-Haute Energie

The whole series are quite good: Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris
