Lawry, I agree such a statement is required and I have created many
variations. Such a statement is only effective when it is targeted to
a particular audience. Obviously, a Congressman requires a different
approach compared to an educated scientist. Consequently, a variety
of statements is required. The basic problem is that no explanation
is accepted by everyone in the field and most explanations are too
complex to be understood by the average person. Without an
explanation, no one can be expected to accept the claims without a
long justification - too long for most people to read and understand.
As a result, I have concluded the field has reached a dead-end.
We need to achieve a censuses in the field and we need more data,
especially the kind that would test a theory. This kind of effort
requires money and a rational plan to spend it. We are presently
missing the rational plan. As evidence, note that everyone who will
comment about my opinions expressed here will have a different opinion
and a different approach. If I were a person wishing to invest money,
I would have to decide which person I should believe? Presently, the
decision is made based on a claimed successful production of heat.
This choice does not require a statement - it only requires only
demonstrations, which are underway.
Cheers,
Ed

Greetings,
As with any expected senior level resignation, a "short-list" of
candidates already exists, plus a list of outliers who have been
recommended by respected people outside the administration. The
outgoing Secretary may also have made a recommendation or two.
The first step is to figure out who is on the short list, then see
if anyone who is an effective spokeperson for the LENR community has
a connection and access to people on the short list. This could be
direct acquaintance, or through organisations that people on the
short-list belong to.
But the key thing is to have a refined, succinct, and effective
message to deliver regarding LENR. At this point, I have not seen
any public statement about LENR that would meet this need, so
perhaps this is something to work on in parallel with figuring out
who to deliver the statement to, and with whom to engage in
discussion beyond that first contact. Any candidate for Secretary
will be looking for promising ideas, and will have unofficially
begun to assemble his/her team that will move into the Department of
Energy when the new nominee is confirmed.
I think this statement on LENR would be fairly easy to produce.
This initiative has to be carried out at a professional level, for
there are many others who will be trying to do the same thing
regarding their own areas of interest.
Cheers,
Lawry de Bivort

Our LENR/HHENI community has to rethink and define its
strategy, we have to evolve from being an unanswered question
to be a Part of the Solution. We have to focus...on what?
