I agree, stupidly is certainly at the core of the problem. I think
the atom bomb provides a useful example of the situation. Early
during WWII, scientists understood that Germany was working on the
atom bomb and if they were successful, the power structure of the
world would change. Only a determined effort by Einstein and a few
scientists in the US were able to pursued a reluctant US government to
pay any attention to the threat. The difference now is that we do not
have an Einstein or a Roosevelt in charge to make wise decisions. The
US government is in chaos and unable to respond to even obvious
threats. On the other hand, Japan and China, although equally stupid
in many ways, have a self-interest to develop the technology that is
lacking in the West. Of course, the normal herd of skeptics and
people who follow the media carry the message that CF is not real.
These people would be ignored if the government really wanted CF to be
developed. The selling of the Iraq war shows just how effective the
government can be in getting what it wants.

Having worked in finance, in Internet bubble, I would rather blame

stupidity... with a few strong cables , like gary taubes and other
leader in closed mindedness, lack of culture, and ego, who give the
skeleton, the frame, to that tent of absurdity...
maybe the US human cables holding the western delusion tent cannot
reach Japan and China...
Maybe a language barrier...
sure most EU is under that tent...
why not the italians ? (maybe because they have a good palladium
provider!)
interesting question... selfish interest of a minority ? of
stupidity of the majority?

Of course LENR is denied by the West. The technology is a real and
profound danger to the West. It would undermine the economics of the
energy industries, on which the West is built, and it would give the
Third world, including China and India, great advantage. The people
in charge in the West may seem stupid in their policies, but they
are fully aware of the danger LENR represents. The West will be
forced to accept the technology eventually, but not because an
intelligent approach was used to develop and take advantage of the
technology. No, they will have to accept the working generators
built in and controlled by China or some other country, such as
Sweden. LENR not only has the ability to make energy cheaper but it
will, in the process, change the power structure of the world, just
as discovery of atomic weapons did. This subject may be a fun
intellectual game to scientists; it is a life and death issue to
some industries and social structures.

lenr-canr is not blacklisted, and you find reference to many
positions.
what does it inspire you?
is LENR denial a western problem?
