Dr. Dennis Bushnell, Chief Scientist at NASA Langley Research Center just gave an interview regarding, among other topics, LENR (aka Cold Fusion).
Some of the lines bellow give the NASA perspective on LENR:
Inching slowly to an energy revolution and not only (transmutations).

“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.”

Sooner than later. If you are in a hurry though, try the next energy solution available: Oil? Solar? Wind? Gas? Nuclear Fission? Geothermal energy? Hamsters wheels?
Take you pick.

LENR needs to break at least in tens of millions $ R&D projects to speed it up the way it should be to serve this power hungry planet. Right now it is moving snail speed because it is in less than million R&D projects.

Hot Fusion got tens if not hundreds of Billion dollars in huge projects... that are all flops:
"Fusion failure The National Ignition Facility, a US$3.5-billion laser fusion facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, did not meet a 30 September 2012 congressional deadline for ‘ignition’ ."

ITER is a joke (expensive one):

Think only what 200 millions $ can do. You can split it in 10 millions for the first 10 LENR teams (you can make a selection for these 10 teams from the most promising LENR teams out there, even before giving them any money) all competing for the remaining 100 million dollars. If only 1 of those teams is winning under the terms of this new Xprice, then you give them 100 million more to scale up that winning setup and then you have a product that can be replicated in super speedy mode so you can cover US in less than 5 years. Energy problem solved.

You can also do a Manhatan project from the winning design and scale it up from government coffers and then distribute it to the masses almost for free. No companies involved, just teams of promising scientists.

If no teams will win the Xprice the bet that you loose is only 200 million $.

Can you think on better bets than this? Because I can think on way more worse bets than this that happened only in the last 23 years, since Cold fusion was violently muzzled up from the public.

Patience. I wonder how much time it took man to get Fire 1.0 working properly and with complete reproducibility . Also, he did not had to worry about patents.

Fire 2.0 will be here soon, in time to save this planet from complete destruction. **

That is ridiculous. I did not denigrate anybody. I just spoke about the ** that is trying to control the release of Cold fusion. Either you consider this conspiracy theory or not is Freedom of Speech of some meaning to moderator? Don't you think you give yourself too much power when you don't let people to express their views, especially about their leaders?

**Edited TKH** Damir you may not denigrate any "class" of people. As you know, not everyone in "any" class of people is trying to do anything. Please observe the forum rules.

I got it ! So if I say "some" or "many" from the Upper Elite are trying to control the release of Cold Fusion, I will not be moderated. True? But if I go to "most of" or "all" I'm crossing into moderated zone. Joke aside, I assume that what you want from me is to shut up about the elites as we all know that nobody makes these quantitative insertions ("some" "many" "most" "all") into their usual discourse.
Let's not try to deceive people about what you are really doing here: total censure of my ideas because you have the power to do it but no moral authority to do it.

"Part" of the product that you are waiting for is in this guy's hands. Check the image of Aldo Proia with HOTCAT cold fusion generator in his hands:
