monopoly won't be official, but defacto because of "moral" regulation, like what is happening today.
my nightmare, yet probable, scenario is that NGO try to block LENR because it oppose their marketing, funding, and Malthusian ideology. Big energy corps support those efforts to manipulate opinion so that LENr is perceived as evil. when LENr is told evil, big corps propose unicorn-shield to protect the population, and goverment accept the compromise. What can make that plan fail is tha in asia, an dprobably in US, this wont happens and we will lose competitivity and all that will became unsustainable. I feel that it is happening for similar story happened recently. We are facing such loss of competitivity and some lobbies emerge for more rationality. However they seems quite based on big corps. 2013/2/25 Eric Walker <[email protected]> > On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 6:17 AM, Alain Sepeda <[email protected]>wrote: > > the other is that EU make a regulation to forbid LENR, but when big energy >> master LENR, they will obtain the monopoly to exploit LENR, keep the price, >> keep the grid, and waste most of LENR added value in useless safety >> measures. > > > It might be possible to enforce a monopoly within the EU on any LENR use, > apart from clandestine operation.
