Choosing the site for such an enormous facility was a country-wide effort involving geological and economic studies in 43 states. Though the process was a drawn-out political affair, the final choice seems a natural one; after all, everything's bigger in Texas!
funny that CERN's large hadron collider is in switzerland, then... after all, everything's smaller in switzerland!
would be intersting to know why exactly the texan project had been cancelled. it surely wasn't merely a matter of interest and money...
and thanks, jack, for the link to mark's post. will go and have a look!

It was a political boondoggle
Made more sense to build at Fermi Lab in Illinois where there was existing infrastructure.
But President George Bush the first
was a Texan so there it went.
Maybe that is why it was cancelled once a democrat came in.
I also heard they were having trouble with fire ants.
