Whoops, accidentally interrupted my above message. To conclude: That unraveling will, of course, take some great deal more effort, as well as probably a great deal of time and money, even though we all hope(d) that it could be carried off by the 'underground'. Lennart Thomas seems to have a good understanding of how the "Standard Model' of current business operates and his general approach may yet be necessary. It seems likely, in fact, as soon as a little more meat is on the LENR bones (or Rossi finally drops the bomb) that the huge industry surrounding LENR will suddenly devleop. Who will do this is a critical questiion. I'd rather not buy my lenr energy from Duke Enerergy or BP. Cheers, ken
