Fuel of the Future, and the Future of Fuel
There has been growing interest in the field, especially as research gets more funding support. One key difference between LENR and hot fusion research, Dave pointed out, is that a lot of effort is going into hot fusion development. In solid state fusion there is about 1/1000th of the amount of research money as there is in hot fusion. They’ve got tens of billions of dollars, the LENR community has tens of millions — a factor of 1,000 difference.
“We’re at a point where there’s tremendous promise here… if we can solve the clear problems with materials and theory in the solid-state fusion arena, we could wind up with something that is every bit as impactful to humanity, widely used, as the modern tools we use — computers, communications, and now AI tools.”
Dave’s story deeply resonates in his love and passion for exploration, his hope for a safer, cleaner future, and his curiosity about the workings of the world. Whether you’re a student, a scientist, an engineer, an interested reader outside the field, a policymaker, or an investor, there is a place for you in the pursuit of a better world. The potential impact of solid-state fusion in the clean energy sphere is exciting. It’s exciting for science, for business, for large-scale impacts.
Dive into uncharted waters, stay curious, and as Dave would say, “Having fun is permitted!”
