That the holder of the keys in high-energy physics have succeeded in obfuscating the real situation reflects badly on the scientific ethics of that community.

No surprise. Consider the number of chemistry and physics professors who would have to re-learn their subject and you can expect even greater resistance than when Plate Tectonics came on the scene in geology and geophysics.

Besides, the high-energy guys have been looking for a death ray or a trump card weapons system, whether they know it or not. LENR is more of a civil engineering feat.

"Consider the number of chemistry and physics professors who would have to re-learn their subject and you can expect even greater resistance than when Plate Tectonics came on the scene in geology and geophysics."

Can't buy this'un. Any competent scientist has to "relearn their subject" pretty much continuously as God rubs our noses in the fact that we really know very little about how His universe works.
