But then i have the advantage of never looking at social media. It makes me anti-social, and immune from the latest conspiracy theory.
This is social media.

I'd be happy to have a discussion about the project offline.
Surely. I'll email you.

Another £50M for hot fusion....

Totally off topic, for which I apologise, but this comment on (partially) pandemic related fuel shortages in the UK is both true and funny.

Thank you so much for joining the forum and sharing your viewpoint with us. I spent a lot of time working with Russ in my lab in the UK, and we talked quite a bit about the Haida project. I know that Sir David King of the Climate Repair Centre in Cambridge UK is keen to see another field trial of OPR take place. Do you have any news about progress on that?

Why we wont have hot fusion any time soon...

The example of ash from Australia fires thus shows, that fertilization of ocean could lead to quite counterproductive results.
You might as well complain about the lava from a volcano affecting grape vines.. For a start this material is a mix of dust and wholly or partly combusted wood ash, it is deposited in uncontrolled quantities with a correspondingly uneven distribution, and not necessarily in a place that would be chosen for the controlled delivery of iron. Apart from that your comment is entirely relevant.

Africa’s explosive Lake Kivu
Lake Kivu is a geological anomaly: the surface is fresh and filled with fish, but the depths hold huge quantities of dissolved carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen sulfide. The picturesque lake, nestled between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, has the potential to explosively release these gases in a rare phenomenon known as a limnic eruption. That could fill the surrounding valley with suffocating and toxic gas, potentially killing millions of people. Energy companies are keen to ramp up extraction of methane from the lake for power. Scientists are scrambling to determine whether this will make the lake safer — or potentially set off a ticking time bomb.

EnerVenue, a Fremont, California–based developer of nickel-hydrogen batteries, has secured $100 million in a series A funding round led by Schlumberger New Energy. EnerVenue says its battery is a low-maintenance alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Ni–H2 technology has been used to power orbital spacecraft, according to the company. It plans to use the cash to build a plant in the US to serve stationary power markets.

Perhaps a naive question, but could a LEC be put in a cloud chamber? Or would shielding the device from the alcohol vapour also run interference on any possible radiation?
Yes it should run in a cloud chamber. And the alcohol vapour might not be a huge problem. doing that is somewhere on the list.

US Navy Back on the LENR Trail.
Whether Cold Fusion or Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions, U.S. Navy Researchers Reopen CaseSpurred on by continued anomalous nuclear results, multiple labs now working to get to bottom of storyspectrum.ieee.orgAfter more than three decades of simmering debate in specialized physics groups and fringe research circles, the controversy over cold fusion (sometimes called low-energy nuclear reactions or LENRs) refuses to go away. On one hand, ardent supporters have lacked the consistent, reproducible results and the theoretical underpinning needed to court mainstream acceptance. On the other, vehement detractors cannot fully ignore the anomalous results that have continued to crop up, like the evidence for so-called “lattice-confinement fusion” adduced last year by a group at NASA’s Glenn Research Center.
Scientists at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division have pulled together a group of Navy, Army, and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) labs to try and settle the debate. Together, the labs will conduct experiments in an effort to establish if there’s really something to the cold fusion idea, if it’s just odd chemical interactions, or if some other phenomenon entirely is taking place in these controversial experiments....
...“We got our impetus from the Google paper appearing in Nature,” says Carl Gotzmer, Indian Head’s Chief Scientist. Gotzmer’s duties include keeping the Navy abreast of the latest scientific developments. Gotzmer says his cold fusion/LENR interest developed after attending the International Conference on Cold Fusion in 2003. After a four-hour conversation with Fleischmann himself, and seeing presentations from across the world giving evidence of nuclear transmutations, he says he began to follow this field in earnest.
“Quite frankly, [to] other folks who have tried this over the years, it was considered a career ender,” says Gotzmer. But the Indian Head team decided that, as a government lab, they had a little more freedom to pursue a controversial topic, so long as it also offered up the prospect of rewarding scientific results.

Bill Gates raises over $1Bn for clean energy
Over $1 billion has been raised to boost clean energy under an effort by a Bill Gates-founded nonprofit.
Bill Gates's nonprofit group Breakthrough Energy announced Monday that it has raised more than $1 billion from seven major companies, including ArcelorMittal and General Motors, to fund clean energy development.
Early participants in the initiative, dubbed "Catalyst," also include American Airlines, Bank of America, BlackRock, Boston Consulting Group and Microsoft.
The amount raised so far tops $1 billion and has been given in the form of grants, shares and commitments to acquire the technologies developed, a spokesman for the organization told AFP.
Launched in June, Catalyst has already forged partnerships with the European Commission, the European Investment Bank, and the US Department of Energy.
The idea is to support the development of new energy solutions to combat climate change by bringing together the public and private sectors and funding the steps to commercialization. Other companies are expected to join the initiative.
The project will initially focus on accelerating the deployment of four technologies: direct carbon capture, green hydrogen, long-term energy storage and sustainable aviation fuels.

He might be right though.
The idea and some of the experiments pre-date Russ's contributions. There is a strange dissonance in the responses that should be familiar to anyone working on cold fusion, namely, a decent body of experimental evidence has demonstrated that done properly it boosts phytoplankton growth which in turn increases fish populations. Against this is a group of objectors who mainly argue from theory rather than experiment. But I suspect the pendulum is swinging in favour of more experiments.

If you didn't understand previous connection, this one will be safely over your head. Keep up your good work, Alan...
It may surprise you to know that the people who most strongly support OPR, are fishermen, and the people who support my aluminium work are mostly from the aluminium industry. That is because they have more than a superficial understanding of what is involved.
-
But I'm aware that I'm talking about it with guy, who recycles aluminium by dissolving it..
And you can explain explain the relevance of that fact?

Ed Lewis asked me to post an updated piece on plasmoids and health. Opinions vary on this of course, Alexander Parkhomov says 'not dangerous', Bob Greenyer says 'cery dangerous'. Ed is on the 'dangerous' side.
From Ed Lewis by email.
PLASMOID HEALTH DANGERS AND EDWARD LEWIS' BOOK
Priakhin's et al's new paper supplies some new evidence about the effects of micro ball lightning that they "call strange" radiation on living creatures. Their evidence shows that aluminium foil and paper make for bad shields. It is important to try to shield from these objects since both Shoulders and Bostick died from cancer. One entered my wrist and caused pain. Here is a recent paper about the health effects of microplasmoids and ball lightning. It shows that the state changing behavior between white and black states make these difficult to shield from.

In the 1990s, I wrote a book about the current plasmoid paradigm and the history of science and economics. It explains the Kondratiev wave of economic depression periods in a logical way. I am updating and editing the book. You can read the book by sending 20 USD or getting a password another way. The book is available on:

@Zephit AWT.
Do tell us what relevance this has to the current topic? Clathrate decomposition is another problem, but not directly connected to ocean fertilisation by anyone AFAIK.
