I agree. > Never, never, never. This is essentially why SPAWARS is being closed. SPAWAR is run by the U.S. Navy. The DoE has no authority over it. A few months ago, someone here describe how NASA might make an evaluation of cold fusion and decide that it should be "banned" or regulated by the NRC. NASA has absolutely no authority to make such decisions. In short, there is an offshoot of LENR that can be weaponized.

The only people I know of who suspected there may be direct weapons applications Martin Fleischmann and Edward Teller. Granted, they know a lot about cold fusion and weapons, respectively. I predict that cold fusion will have a tremendous impact on every kind of military hardware, but it will be similar to the impact of the internal combustion engine or electricity, rather than a direct method of causing an explosion. - Jed
