This was the conclusion I arrived at as well, after reading Lou's many posts. And this was the thought I tried to convey to Guenter in his "600C eCat thread".
Basically, if your NAE is a transition metal lattice; i.e. Cracks (Storms), or Patches (W&L) or any other structures (Hagelstein), you would not be able to achieve High Temp operation. With Carbon Nanostructures such as nanotubes and graphene, thermal stability of your NAE is not a problem. These Carbon nanostructures are just amazing. They seem to have all the critical ingredients to host a NAE. Carbon nanostructure-based LENR, which I call LENR2, is the way to go.

It was surprising. The bottom line to what this author is saying is as follows: These experimental data cannot be explained by ballistic transport but are consistent with phase-incoherent ultrahigh temperature (>1050 K or 776 C) superconductivity. Now that is very hot. This is because the anomalous magnetic properties shown by iron impurities in this experiment cannot be explained by existing physics models except for the paramagnetic Meissner effect due to the existence of ultrahigh temperature superconductivity in the multi-walled carbon nanotubes. So if nanotubes can be used in LENR, very high temperatures are possible, but it is still very hard to believe. Any opinion?

I downloaded it. Strange that it was sealed off so quickly. Same lead author. Contents are a bit different and more current for those who don't mind the expense.
