Neo-green

"green technology" is an practically an oxymoron

I was reading this and going along with it...

The reason the climate problem has become more serious in recent years is that nobody has done anything of real significance to control carbon emissions since the problem was recognized 20 some years ago. Moreover, there is no indication that any of the earth’s major carbon emitters are planning to do anything but keep emitting the same or still more carbon in the foreseeable future

and then...technology comes to the rescue!

For now however, LENR devices, which have been under development for over 20 years, seem to be the most promising candidates to replace carbon emitting devices

LENR????

I'd bet my money on benevolent alien intervention delivering the goods before LENR ever delivers anything concrete

On the subject of LENR heres a recent article from mark gibbs of forbes who not long ago thought (and said) the same as you but he seems slowly to be changing his opinion.

also:

A website called “American Antigravity.com” has just released a Tim Ventura audio interview with Dr. Dennis Bushnell, Chief Scientist at NASA Langley Research Center. Here is most of what
Bushnell said about LENR:
“LENR, which we’re working on here, we’ve got 22 years now of experiments on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, which indicate out of hundreds of experiments that this is real. And we now have a
theory from Widom Larsen that it’s condensed matter nuclear physics, it is collective effects.
It is not particle physics. It is not the usual business and you can get around the Coulomb barrier by forming ultra-weak neutrons using heavy electrons which not only enable you to form the neutrons but also converts the gamma radiation, which comes off the beta-decay, which is where the energy is finally produced – convert
that into thermal so that you don’t have to
have much radiation protection.

So LENR is expected to be anywhere from twenty thousand to 3 million times chemical [energy] and that would really revolutionize space. LENR is not “heavily” investigated, we have a two to three hundred K effort. We are also cooperating with people that we can’t divulge under cooperative agreements. There is quite a lot of interest because LENR purportedly also produces trace mutations. So, if LENR [transmutation] works, we can take whatever is on the planet and possibly transmutate it into something we need.”
