* I assume you mean as long as there is a DoE. I agree.
No, I mean DoD - DoD has far more political clout. There is no
inter-connection between the two - except via top politicians and the
Cabinet - who hear from both.
I do not follow, but that's okay.
* I doubt that. 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.
Yes, they do. Case closed.
The case does not seem closed to me. Many other people who know a lot about
cold fusion and weapons, such as Ed Storms, say there appears to be no
likelihood of a weapon. I do not think that the opinions of Fleischmann and
Teller automatically outweigh these other people's opinions.
Cold fusion does not appear to be a chain reaction, so I do not see how it
could be used in a weapon.
By not being the direct cause of a chain reaction?
I think LENR can be weaponized, and that's probably related, in part, to
all the denial surrounding it. It makes sense. Moreover: I'm afraid it
already has. I will not talk about it.
If I continue gaining insight, I suppose I'll write a book one day.
