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.

Don't mention cold fusion if you want funding, or so it seems. That is to say - if LENR is indeed real and robust - then it is very likely that splitting water using catalysis, on a large scale will uncover the extent of LENR utility as a base technology. Curiously - one potential impediment in this story is the element iridium. As it turns out, splitting water efficiently is most efficien with iridium anodes, and that is problematic. More on iridium later.
