I feel those relative skepticism a bit strange and unjustified. If you read all the project they are mainstream but very risky/uncertain. The project of Miley is not interesting because of LENR... it is the less uncertain part, and if Miley cannot make his technology work he can ask DGT, Rossi, Piantelli, celani, Brillouin... of course the problem will be to manage the fee and the ego of each...
It is interesting because of usin TEG, and integrated fan cooling , to build a home CHP I'm always surprised how many people are so doubtful about the commercial claims, while there are honest business evidences, corporate CV. of course not absolutely solid, but nothing is rock-solid in innovation. I am much more concerned about some mainstream technologies, based on classic and known theories, but that will probably never be effective in reality. why do we put such a crazy level of evidence on LENR, while we are so loose with evidences in usual technologies... nothing is certain, but few facts are more certains than LENR, and few bleeding edge technologies are validated by so much business evidences than LENR. not because it is easy, but because every body expect all in LENR to be fraud, and if you see someone investing, communicating, in LENR, you know that he is thousand times more careful than if investing in fashion technology... If I have to accuse some evidence to be loose, some technology to be uncertain, I won't take LENR, and I won't put even Rossi as the first candidate for risky business. Aldo Proia have reduced his risk position with Prometeon. loose business are very very popular... good theory, good models, trust, consensus, and frauded evidences, with delusion and politically correct collective denial. the reason to vote for Miley, beside that he deserve a chance more than for yet another useless fashion energy source, is that his project is different from Rossi/DGT, and it can give a big momentum onto LENR technology... today the LENr companies should not even be competing, but cooperating, because there is more rooms for them than they can occupy for the next 5 years. and about skepticsm we should more focus on fashion mainstream science.
