LENR and the Paradigm of Abundance

In particular, there is a new clean, very very cheap, and super abundant energy technology emerging called “Low Energy Nuclear Reaction” (LENR for short). It uses hydrogen and nickel to produce heat. No nuclear materials are used for fuel, and none are produced.

Comment:

There's a lot here for me to agree with.  However, I'm an "all of the above" type on energy.  That means I also favor LFTRs, which may not be in tune with certain folks who don't like fission of any sort.  The trouble is, these cold fusion technologies are not moving with the speed necessary, and LFTRs are already been proven in the lab.  LFTR tech only requires commercialization.  LFTRs are a 300 fold improvement on waste and can be as economical as coal.

I'm all for LENR.  I just think its time may not have come yet.  I'd be very happy to be wrong about that.
