Enough of the ad hominem attacks. What about the meat of the article? The author says that institutional interests that apparently outweigh the world’s access to abundant cheap energy have prevented the U.S. government and U.S. corporations from investing in a promising new approach to energy production. Asian companies seem to be taking up the slack.
Should we be worried, or should we be glad that energy will soon be as cheap as computer processing power — even if, like computer processing power, it comes from Asia?

***I would say that it was “institutional interests” that outweigh the access to RESEARCH into something that would obviously give the “world access to abundant cheap energy”. Those interests are the guys who were pulling big paychecks to deliver us zero results on controlled hot fusion.

***I’m not sure whether we should be worried. But it can’t be good for the US that Asia is ahead of us.
There’s some great discussion on Vortex-L for this

We should, of course, be glad. But the lying physicists who have actively worked to kill LENR research need to answer for their fraud. It won't happen, of course.
