I can buy a light bulb for a few dollars to create photons. How many millions was the LHC to send a couple of protons at not quite C?

It is the M part of E=mc2 that makes it all so difficult to accelerate anything but photons to the speed of light. Photons are massless but protons have mass.
The LHC is a particle collider smashing particles with mass at near light speed. If we collide photons then if E=mc2. E=0mc2. E=0.
