Scientists in the U.S. and Japan Get Serious About Low-Energy Nuclear ...
It’s been a big year for low-energy nuclear reactions. LENRs, as they’re known, are a fringe research topic that some physicists think could explain the results of an infamous experiment nearly 30 years ago that formed the basis for the idea of cold fusion. That idea didn’t hold up, and only a handful of researchers around the world have continued trying to understand the mysterious nature of the inconsistent, heat-generating reactions that had spurred those claims.

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Lead Fight for Energy Independence
Living up to the words of Russell Means, the late Oglala Lakota activist and cofounder of the American Indian Movement, members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North Dakota are leading an effort toward energy independence. This effort, if successful, could serve as a model for how to slow anthropogenic climate disruption. Their hope is based on a controversial clean energy technology, which is often discredited as conspiracy as it quietly moves into reality. Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) is being considered by many to be the future of energy.

Cold Fusion Is Hot Again
Once considered junk science, cold fusion gets a second look by researchers. Twenty years ago it appeared for a moment that all our energy problems could be solved. It was the announcement of cold fusion, nuclear energy like that which powers the sun but at room temperature, on a table-top. It promised to be cheap, limitless, and clean. Cold fusion would end our dependence on the Middle East and stop those greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.
