Thanks for the recognition. Initially the term LENR had a much narrower definition and was confined to a proton to helium transmutation. My nickelous oxide reactor in conjunction with an RGA did suggest stellar fusion at this simplest level. I did not see higher amu contributions. This catalyst array does fuse hydrogen at its simplest level without higher amu transmutation. I'm not speculating that stellar fusion stops at this level, only that my reactor at 830C only fused hydrogen to produce helium within the experimental thermal constraints. Other than the obvious need to burn oil as dictated at a high level, do you see other reasons that this reaction to produce heat has not been utilized commercially?
BTW I called up your EDIT reference, it's amusing that sonoluminescence that emits energy at stellar levels in water hasn't been investigated by that group.
Yes, the Sun is hiding surprises beyond our understanding and these surprises best neglected.
