Yes, but that fits into the category of a high-energy process, and thus is well-accepted by the hot physics folks.

That also fits into the category of high priced technology, and thus is well accepted by the crony capitalist folks....................

***If the LENR scientists were half the charlatan scam artists their critics claim, they’d be all over this angle. My personal opinion of the Widom-Larson theory is that it is baloney, borne out of the need to distance themselves from what resembles cold fusion. But it shows that coming up with a theory based upon scientific political correctness can actually move the ball forward, so it has its value. What we need is a high energy LENR theory that would focus on Electron Capture and attract $200M in seed money just so that regular LENR experiments can be carried out.
