Nuclear should be considered part of clean energy standard, White House says

Why is fusion ignored?

Because it is always 50 years out.

Why is the LENR ignored then?

Because at least regular fusion has significant and universally accepted empirical evidence of it even being fundamentally possible.

LENR has had to have a name change because the primary connotation with cold fusion is a bunch of psuedoscience and bullshit.

Yes, some real scientists have published some results that make continued study worthwhile, but if regular fusion is 50 years off, our indication is that LENR, if it's even possible, is 100.

Why 100? I see no barrier to adopt the LENR worldwide in a short period of time, when the effect will be well understood and easy to reproduce.

If people outside of the LENR community could ever reproduce any of their experiments it would be a good start.

I don't think the hundred or so scientists at a bunch of disparate universities are part of some conspiracy to push quack science, but something is up when there is no theoretical framework that even begins to explain your results, no one outside of your community can reproduce it, and your results are still just "well that's weird" vs. "we have something we can build off to actually produce energy"

When someone outside the LENR community will reproduce Cold Fusion experiment, he will be part of the LENR community immedialtely, so nope.

However, you can look at results produced by Akito Takahashi[0]. Are they convincing enough for you?
