The idea is to run at 3.5 TeV during 2010 and 2011, stopping for shutdown either when 1 fb<sup>-1<\/sup> has been accumulated, or end of 2011, whichever comes first.

This should be true for more than 3 years from now, until after the LHC has accumulated a significant amount of data at full energy in 2013.
