such as LENR for cheap desalination
..............
LENR if/when it scales will collapse the cost of desalination.
My favorite energy cost killer is lftr thorium reactors. These have actually had demonstration plants in operation. (40 years ago) If/when they scale up, they’ll pull the cost of electricity down to 1/4-1/10 current cheapest cost coal/natural gas plant electrical generator.
LENR looks to make energy costs even cheaper. Which is great if it happens.
Another form of LENR that looks interesting to me is Dense Plasma Focus. http://bit.ly/1fsf7qb
There’s a couple variants of that.
It does look like there’s more interest/excitement in the LENR world. It stands to reason therefor — that articles from more mainstream publications in the next year or so will do pieces on LENR—as has happened with LFTR thorium reactors in the last two years.
LENR tests are not expensive. The work at MIT look pretty impressive. So it stands to reason there ought to be more big science university/government/corporate labs coming out with corroborating tests in the next year. There should be more scientists popping up with positive results. All you have to do is report them telling everyone ...just the facts mam.
In the end the keys to a successful 21st century are cheap water and cheap energy. It doesn’t really matter just how its done. Just that it gets done.

***That is my view as well. If it is by way of LFTR, then great. But when I look at the 2 technologies, I vastly favor LENR.
