Why? What would be the point of splitting water if you have LENR? What
would
This mega-project - which is to split water on a massive scale using green
energy (wind) - makes almost no economic sense to many observers of alternative
energy ... especially not to Elon Musk - who thinks battery storage makes more
sense.
