I agree, but it is the minimum. However ther is no limit to stupidity, and some zone might forbid it... (For example, France, Germany, Europe). Not as a conspiracy, but for quasi-religious reason, like it is done in EU. add that the lobbying of old monopolies (think about Russian supporting anti-Shales in EY).
if you remove that "stupidity" hypothesis, LENR can at least reduce 10% of energy cost, and many % of induced cost of negawatts. as Jed said, the there will be chain effect of productivity gain. another gain will be unemployment reduction, because LENR is work intensive investment only. Transient effect that will restore social peace and efficiency. then ther will be productivity gain because of the second characteristic of LENR : the huge autonomy. maintenance saving, transport costs saving, grid connection... then there will be new applications that we cannot even imagine. but until the new application, the road can be anticipated and many dozen of % of productivity will be gained, allowing developped country to reduce work need, and poor country to afford basic need, health, and comfort, starting a new economy like the one of us today. if EU zone decide to forbid LENR, we will become the last Papuah. And chinese, african tourist will came to see the indigenous. Not impossible for north-western europe. 8( 2012/7/21 Chemical Engineer <cheme...@gmail.com> > I agree with Mark, > > People will not have to learn LENR, they will just replace/upgrade their > existing HVAC equipment with a device that happens to produce electricity > also and reduces their bill - no brainer. > > Information access is much easier today with the internet and will aid in > the proliferation of the technology. > > LENR requires less infrastructure than cell phones and there are already 6 > billion of them in the world, all within the last 30 years or so. >
