Our experience seems to marginalize the relevance of "noise" quip - at least in the case of SETI. It all goes back to the starting assumptions. Of course SETI operates under the assumption that ET wants to contact us, as opposed to us wanting to eavesdrop on them. We can reasonably assume

The Rothwellian theme (available on Kindle) which on closer examination perhaps is pre-Orwellian, can be called "the democratization of energy" ... but to the contrarian, it would explain an arcane detail which is troubling on several levels. ET can't call home. First I will give Jed a plug.

This is not a repeat of the suggestion that dense hydrogen is the same species as "dark matter" ... but there is a good case for that proposition. It is about "dark" as in evil. If there is a foreseeable downside to LENR, it is the possibility of weaponization. Not just that - it is the easy
