LENR, if possible, will have a much bigger impact on global economy - may even transform the way economies works. Its not just clean energy, but think about the impacts of artificial transmutation.<p>Also if LENR is possible, it also means that some or all of the biological life possesses this capacity and it could be an undiscovered fundamental natural occurrence.<p>BUT - all of this sounds too good to be true :(
Fundamental discoveries have pretty much slowed down and it is very natural to be skeptical about these.
