As a military project manager, I would NEVER use the name LENR. In an attempt at redirection, I would rename the reference to advanced “hydrogen ion nano-battery” or the like.
Next, the military and civilian workers associated with the project all have clearances and are all under the threat of a 10 year prison sentence for releasing classified information even to the newspapers. So there is a good chance that the subject would never get beyond the project office. Nuclear workers are especially security conscious. Many intelligence systems were well protected for long periods while operational, like the U2, the SR71 blackbird, the keyhole satellite code named Kennan "Keyhole-class" (KH) reconnaissance satellites have been orbiting the Earth for more than 30 years, The F-117 Nighthawk, and the B2 bomber to name just a few security wins. Jed, you are betting on the wrong horse if you think the Congress is going to keep Rossi’s LENR system in the mainstream and out of classification. No, the Navy will crush your dreams of LENR for all mankind.
