Steven Krivit (New Energy Times) writes: Dear Vlad,
As 2011 comes to a close, there is some interesting news in
the world of low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) research.
1. Royal Dutch
Shell, plc, one of the largest energy companies in the world, is interested in
exploring low-energy nuclear reaction research as a possible game-changer in the
energy business.

2.
The Shell initiative follows a recent inquiry from the United States
intelligence community into LENR.

3.
The general public is beginning to understand what really happened with the
"cold fusion" drama during the past 10 years.

4.
And no, the distinction between LENR and "Cold Fusion" is not mere semantics.

LENR, which does not presume or assert the miraculous hypothesis of
deuterons overcoming the Coulomb barrier at room temperature, is real. "Cold
fusion" is still a belief system, as it always was.
5. And before you
ask, Mr. Andrea Rossi has no credible evidence for his extraordinary claims
about his "Energy Catalyzer" device.

I
am available if you have any questions.
Wishing you happy holidays and a
great new year!
