“The LENR processes have produced excess energies for long enough periods to be utilized by known techniques, however inefficient”
Someone has made “excess energies” for enough hot water to take a shower or heat a house? Who might that be?
As for the hot fusion folks....they have a long, long wait ahead.
There have been numerous LENR tests that have produced excess energies for quite long periods of time - the problem has always been the ability to reproduce such results. If the mechanism of LENR processes were understood, commercialization would follow very rapidly.
