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!
