Bosons, my ass

Higgs boson, they say, is the reason for wasting gazillions of euros on a high-tech circular tunnel.

So how come we still use portable energy sources that date back to 1800 and are only capable of only giving a 3000 mAh of power ? How come we can't purposely transfer a significant amount of energy wirelessly, through the air, without having to wear radiation-proof costume ? Speaking of which, why radiation protection is still 10m of lead ? Kind of limits space travel you know.

Higgs boson, when you discover it, you know what to do with it.
