I think it will more likely be the greens, climate activists, anti-technology / anti-progress groups, and more in general those who are politically motivated against "nuclear" energy who will attempt stopping this technology, leveraging on hypothetical dangers for human health and the environment.
Oil producers will use it to their benefit (cheaper oil extraction) while slowly phasing out from the fuel sector and at the same time focusing more on other sectors (lubricants/chemical/etc.). Some might even start new businesses in LENR (as they currently do on nuclear energy and photovoltaics, for example). This will allow them to survive longer in the post-peak oil era.
Just my 2 cents, S.A.
