I agree that it is stupid to plan on building another mega collider right now. The recent advances in plasma wakefield acceleration indicate that the next generation of colliders should be much smaller and reliant on the new non-magnet accelerator mechanism. Maybe two generations from now they can build another mega collider with the wakefield acceleration technology once that technology matures. It would be a bad idea, IMO, to start planning the wakefield mega accelerator in the infancy of wakefield acceleration.
