*I am sure they have great merits but they require to be tied to 'old' knowledge and experience *
To my way of thinking, *neutrons* play no part in LENR in any of its manifestations. Nuclear physics is predicated on the neutron as a central causative factor. Even the nuclear reactions researched in nuclear physics do not apply to LENR multiple nuclei cluster fusion reactions. Nuclear physics will be out of work after LENR is introduced and they all need to be retrained. This will be difficult because as the twig is bent, so the tree shall grow. If chemistry is judged to cover super atoms, and Nano-particle production, together with nanoplasmonics, metallurgy, and hydrogen chemistry, then chemistry is important in that regard. *Together with Europe we have the best infrastructure to deploy LENR.* Europe is energy poor and their need for energy and LENR is great. The US is rich in energy and will resist LENR, just as Russia will ,and Iran, and OPEC. The US will use LENR for weapons and keep it classified. This might change if DGT releases their product due to public pressure in the US to compete in the commercial energy marketplace. I predict that DGT will be first to market because of military medaling in the US LENR situation. > >
