The scientific establishment just wants to keep the R&D money coming in for fusion and nuclear research.
LENR can be a proliferation danger by enhancing U235 concentration and destroying U232 whose risk their ideology may work to ignore. Paraphrasing POTUS Bush: "Knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat that LENR represents. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun -- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."
