This would be effective maybe if there were a biz, a working energy generator —or even an experiment. but so far the authors have not sold the public on even the experimental results.
***The Cherokee Investments boys are no slouches. They saw Rossi’s demo, verified it with their own independent expert, and then reached for their checkbooks to the tune of $20M. LENR is moving past the point of scientific anomaly. Or, as you put it, the point where “ if they could plunk down successful experiments in front of a lot of different audiences and have them poke and prod them so as to show the experiments do what they say they’ll do”...
The Wright brothers went through a similar phase, from 1903 to 1908. They were treated to a steady stream of lookieloos who asked for demos but none of them were in a position to write a check & buy airplanes upon successful demo. That is, until the Army wrote up an unbelievable contract for a flying machine and the Wrights met every technical requirement.
What year were the Wright brothers convicted of fraud?
yeah, you may have a point.
In addition to the cherokee investors -—the energy dept made a line item available for lenr research
you might want to post both of these as they are they get into the mainstream media.

A few days ago it was 11 million. Now it is 20 million. And NO source for the claim!
