Very interesting, creates a greater context of our problems, but we have specific problems too. I have just started to write a paper about the roots (more local) of LENR 's problems. Storms considers my air poisoning hypothesis also a silly distraction but we are unable to get reproducible results- even of low level reproducibility in the FP Cell type wet systems. Why?
