A phenomenon was presented that showed promise over 30 years ago but it has basically gone no where since
***That’s due to politics, not science, as Wonder Warthog pointed out.

despite countless millions of dollars being spent,

careers and numerous organizations being devoted to it.
***If only 2% of CHF funds had been diverted to cold fusion, we’d have Jetson flying cars by now.

I clung to the hope that it was viable myself for over 20 years as the post from me on this forum from over 10 years ago that you quoted clearly showed.

so I am not sure which.

But keep it up, the mystery and the laughs are priceless.

So the only issue is that not enough money, time and effort has been spent on LENR in the last more than 30 years? And if it had been we'd have Jetson flying cars by now? May I ask what LENR has to do with flying cars? LOL!!! You are living in some sort of whacked out fantasy land.

Here is the reality. Fortunes have been lost pursuing LENR over the past 3 decades from both government and private sources. The reason funding from private and government sources has mostly dried up is because after tireless examination over months, years and decades with hundreds of millions of dollars being spent... Fleischmann and Pons’s observations have been thoroughly and completely discredited. The scientific community came to an overwhelming consensus years ago that the effect was completely unpredictable or nonexistent and that experimental errors had been made. The research was almost all universally condemned, and cold fusion became synonymous with junk science to the point that it had to be renamed LENR.

The big money including private investment directed toward fusion power is still out there in fact there is more than ever. Almost all of it is going in other directions other than LENR. Your proclamations that if the money was going toward hucksters and charlatans that we would be in Jetson type flying cars is ridiculous. Commonwealth Fusion Systems raised more than $1.8 billion last year from Bill Gates and many others. If LENR had similar chances of success big money would be knocking on LENR researcher's doors.

Strangely it is not. Why are all of your impeccable sources ignored? What is your theory as to why this is?
