Well said, JONES!!! This is exactly the situation. Physics has sold
the governments of the world on spending money for research that has
practically no value. This use of money limits what else can be
explored and greatly distorts what can be discovered. LENR has been
rejected and held to a very high standard simply because it threatens
this spending, as you so clearly state. When LENR is finally applied
at a level that even an idiot will have to accept, the physics
community will have to explain why this acceptance took so long when
so much evidence was available and when the need for the energy was so
great. Careful evaluation and rational skepticism is important but
rational limits must be applied because EVERYTHING believed by science
can be rejected by a determined skeptic. We would still be in the
Dark Ages if rational limits to skepticism had not been agreed to and
applied in science. Why is so hard to do now with LENR?

For starters, CERN isn't selling "franchises" to the Higgs Boson.
CERN
doesn't rely on "secret" customers and "secret" experts to validate
their
work. Etc, etc.
This is complete bull crap ! Big Science is doing much worse than
that.
But more so with regard to ITER or NOVA or Hot Fusion or other Big
Science
projects that are threatened by LENR than with CERN.
The physics establishment is essentially selling "franchises" to
every
overpaid PhD and "yes-man" techie on the large staffs - who would be
fired,
if this kind of no-bid work were to be made moot by LENR.
CERN might survive, but ITER and other extremely generous projects
with
routine $250k salaries would bite the dust!
That is billions of dollars of bribe money, being paid out to an
elite group
to "tow the company line" ... That is far more despicable than Rossi
struggling for investment capital.
