Double LHC power to find Higgs?

Though the article suggests the LHC has the power to find
the Higgs in the next year, it is also suggested that doubling the LHC power in 2014 might do the trick:

The LHC can already accelerate protons to eight miles-per-hour less than the speed of light. At that speed, a proton has the kinetic energy of a raindrop. (This may not sound like much, but it's pretty amazing if you think about the mass difference between a single proton and a raindrop.)

All we need is the energy of just one more raindrop, and the secrets of the universe will reveal so many more secrets. How amazing is that?

Wow! Such a neat way to put this!
