Yes. No one needs to shut down or bury LENR. It is dying on its own, as the researchers grow old and die. A nefarious organization opposed to cold fusion would not spend $10 million to kill it off. It would not need to spend anything, or do anything.
I agree. Between the lawsuit and Rossi's new Six Sigma mantra, perhaps people should press the hold button till 2018. I will keep an eye on Mills though, and his demo on October 26th. He is my last hope for exotic energy schemes. Maybe he pulls it off, we will see.
