I want to listen to the whole thing, but just jumping around, his discussion about the Nuclear Active Environment is very intriguing. Maybe a number of researchers from Pons and Fleishman forward have been nibbling around the edges in various ways, but no one has yet found the real mechanism.
“No one has yet got it right” Yes, that is what I think.

***I think someone has, but the resources are so limited that the community cannot drill down on the theoretical & experimental implications of each speculation. When the mechanism is verified, we will likely find that someone proposed it 10 years ago on Vortex.
