The particle has been the subject of a 45-year hunt to explain how matter attains its mass. Both of the Higgs boson-hunting experiments at the LHC see a level of certainty in their data worthy of a "discovery". The results announced at Cern (European Organization for Nuclear Research), home of the LHC in Geneva, were met with loud applause and cheering."

1) Burying the residential electrical lines in the Northeast is a large infrastructure project that must be done. 2) Unemployment is high Seems like a good opportunity for the Government to put unemployed folks to work. Of course it will cost money. Pay for it with a temporary utility surcharge for consumers, and increase in corporate taxes on the utility companies.
