Ed and Axil--
Funding for R&D comes from one source and funds for commercial sales comes from
the masses. Cold Fusion was a term that Jones used before P&F used it to
describe their results. Apparently they thought it was a reasonably accurate
term. I tend to agree with the original term.
It might make more sense however, if funding is a driver of the semantics, to
come up with something from mythology or at least get some religious overtone
into the appropriate term--maybe miraculously friendly cold fusion--MFCF. That
way a big group of religious believers may give their approval.

What is gained by lying and then using a description that has no relationship
to reality? LENR is a nuclear process. It might or it might not have any
relationship to plasmonic reactions. The people who make decisions about what
to fund are not children and they are not part of the unwashed masses. Playing
games with words will not work. It just makes us look dishonest and confused.

One of the tragic miscalculations made by spokespersons who attempt to
explain ‘COLD FUSION’ is the subconscious connection that they make between
current fusion/fission nuclear based technology and cold fusion. In fact there
is no connection.
This unfortunate connection between cold fusion and the nuclear industry
was mistakenly made very early on and has become a tradition in the cold fusion
community.
When addressing an audience with no background in cold fusion, it might be
best to decuple this technology conceptually from conventional nuclear energy.
With this wisdom in mind, Defkalion has again changed the name of their
reaction from
Heat Energy from Nuclei Interactions
To
Heat Energy from Nanoplasmonics/Nanoexplosions Interactions
The name of our technology should have no links to existing scientific meme
to confuse the great unwashed masses being exposed to it for the first time.
This inaccurate meme connection through the words we use is unnecessarily
counterproductive from a propaganda and product positioning standpoint.
Our collective interests might be better served if we conform to the naming
conventions that DGT is using whatever it is currently is since Rossi lives in
his own anti social world.
Low energy Nanoplasmonic reaction LENR might be good to use also.
