	You may be right, who knows... depends on whom you believe.  There are 
claims that about 100 independent trials have produced "interesting" 
results.  I am not doing it so I cannot say.  Who knows who is behind 
Lattice - could all be a great dark conspiracy to keep the mundane mind 
further diverted from truth such as "we are running out and one day we 
will be murdering each other for it" (oh wait, we're already doing 
that).  It would not be the first time this technique has been used. 
The Storms?  They are ex-Los Alamites.  Who knows what their real story 
is.  If they are not straight up, perhaps they are getting so much $$ 
they don't care what the world thinks.  I don't know.  But the theory 
behind LENR seems cogent and plausible, so I will remain sceptically 
open to the possibility and hope someone busts this wide open.  We, the 
people of the world could really use a bit of fresh air.
