Mebbe someday.

I haven't decided if this is going to be significant in the marketplace soon or not (Scientific thought has it's own form of inertia, and overcoming the tendency to stay fixed in course and speed can take significant input). Once overcome, however, vectors can change rapidly, and I work in the oil industry so it could affect me personally.

But I noticed the price of palladium held while other precious metals were dropping. I don't get the impression that is because the auto manufacturers were snarfing it up for catalytic converters for all the new vehicles they are building for the huge economic recovery we're in (/s).

So who is picking up the palladium?

I hadn't realized there was research going into palladium/deuterium, even though I was aware of the nickel hydride devices.

There are a host of other catalytic uses for Palladium, so this may not be a factor.

***Actually, until a couple of years ago, most of the LENR research was into the P/D systems.

***You work in the energy industry. If you start migrating your work output to the side of the industry that won’t change as drastically when this wave hits, you should do fine. For instance, Steam Turbines and Energy Delivery Systems will still be around, but oil refineries will gradually be abandoned.
