Isn’t this the same Collider that people did not want used because it would create so much anti-matter that the world would be consumed?

Not even close. It is estimated that in order to produce just one ounce of Antimatter, it would require over 10,000 years for the Super Collider to operate without interruption.

It is not just a capacity issue either. Regardless of the size of the equipment, it is not possible to produce any more than that given amount. It is all related to E=Mc2. It is a matter of the laws of Physics. There were some who did actually voice a concern in that regard however.
