It's an enormously inefficient system, wasting 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the power put into it. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/a5015/4340070/ > The record-smashing energy generated by the LHC's collision events, therefore, only corresponds to 3.78 × 10-7 J, a minuscule quantity of energy. A 100-watt light bulb left on for an hour, by comparison, consumes 360,000 J.
