1) the absurdity of breaching the Coulomb barrier in ordinary fusion, which would take something approaching 100 keV for appreciable tunneling probability, and 2) the absence of a Coulomb barrier in neutron capture (hooray!) And, as usual, he neglects to point out 3) the 780 keV energy barrier to the formation of those neutrons by electron capture. The existence of relativistic, 780 keV electrons in ordinary matter (without copious x-rays) is far more implausible than 100 keV deuterons, and that leaves aside the implausibility of the complete absorption of gammas from all the proposed reactions. He's just after more investment in Lattice Energy, LLC.
