https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612911/the-green-new-deal-has-been-released-here-are-four-key-tech-takeaways/   It is encouraging to see an early US presidential election platform for resolving  Co2 and related coal and nuclear issues. The proponents state, " It’s unclear if we will be able to decommission every nuclear plant within 10 years, but the plan is to transition off of nuclear and fossil fuels as soon as possible."        As identified by MIT, the  takeaways from the above  linked article are:     1. Clean, not renewable  2. No new nukes  3. Natural carbon removal  4. Possibly impossible      After the January 31st 2019  announcement of E-Cat marketing, a concern with  item 4 is possible side-tracking of LENR-type industrial heating.  Possibly Impossible  could be code for the remedy with the fastest and greatest impacts on reducing Co2 ...

                  Disputation on the Power & Efficacy of Nuclear Energy vs LENR https://neuenergy.blogspot.com/2018/11/ len r- claimed-to-work.html   A half century ago, this tract would have been printed by an early version of the Gutenberg press and read to congregations on a Sunday morning. Today's author makes it instantaneously available to a few alert readers around the world on screens in their own homes and in their own language. Virtual nailing of the piece on a few pious doors across Europe may be more news worthy than New Year’s marches.   With the glut of advertisements, entertainment and opinion in modern media, we have to ask,   "to what effect are both factual and hyped news?" Actually, big media being engaged in both, are all-powerful in influencing consumer decisions and in policy making. They are the gatekeepers of what technology and energy news gets included in daily press and screened n...

 https://www.technologyreview.com/s/610457/at-this-rate- its-going-to-take-nearly-400-years -to-transform-the-energy-system/    Aside from hydro, solar and wind, most legacy power plants have limited extractive fuel supplies. And, nuclear plants are hugely expensive to build and maintain, are uranium based, have massive cooling requirements and generate piles of radioactive waste.  Cheap LENR will scale-up faster than fission did in the 1970s.  Germany, the only industrial nation to abandon nuclear is phasing out coal, and now relies on renewables for one-third of its energy.    Conspiracy theories, uncensored false news (four centuries?) and the secrecy of the industrial/military cabal aside, it should take LENR less than three decades to (a) corral the increase in Co2 emissions and (b) lower the risks of nuclear reactors through phase-out. What will take 4,000 years is reduction in radioactivity of ever-accumulating piles of nucleae waste....
