Texas and federal negotiators clinch collider settlement
House and Senate negotiators approve a plan that would give Texas 720 million in assets and cash from the aborted super collider project. The agreement, included in an energy appropriations conference report, aims to end years of dispute and allow Texas to reuse parts of the site and equipment while the federal government keeps ownership of the tunnel and some assets.
