Yeah but we’re stoning the white elephant in the room with two birds while a cart-drawn horse is heading towards a burning bridge.

Tell me about alternatives that are less dependant on fossil energy sources.

“Would love to actually see anti-matter” - are you being literal here? because that would require a vacuum between your eyes and antimatter that emits at a visible frequency. Not entirely impossible, but detection and recording of an anti-hydrogen transition wavelength is more easily achievable. This might be no more than an LCD display indicating a non-zero number though. Exciting for sure, but not necessarily a visual spectacle.
