For this reason alone Japan will probably trump the US very badly in the LENR business. Maybe they take the issues more seriously due to the high population density in relation to natural resources. It could be they have a much better eye for business than US scientists. Unlike the DOE, when looking at unexplainable data, they must sense that the value of research is not just based on consensus opinion of scientific merit, fear of a large probability of failure to advance, but rather the probability of success multiplied by the potential economic and social value.
