When I discuss my interests with people that do not follow LENR progress I find that the best way to get them to understand which subject I am referring to is to use the term "Cold Fusion". That always works!
There has been at least one main movie that many typical people has watched where that term stands out. I am afraid that a change of name merely makes less average folks aware of what is being discussed from a historical point of view. For this reason I suggest that we leave things alone for now since it is likely that very soon new developments in the field will overwhelm any possible gains achieved by changing the name. Dave
