As you say it was only announced today. The world just does'nt know what's coming and thank God it is.
Hopefully it's in time to save the world from global warming and all the other unpleasant effects that we have (up to now) been seemingly powerless to prevent or deal with.
Of course that other benefit, very cheap energy is a tremendous bonus.

It seems to be too good to be true, but it is really happening. Now when huge companies like Airbus take out patents on this technology and government agencies like NASA do likewise, then we know that this is for real, and of course the ongoing research by so many countries, India ,Japan, China, and more also make this more believable.

Of course our country (GB) just happens to be totally ignoring this technology and has gone for expensive dead ducks like Hinkley Point which will be obsolete before it is built, and we will have to pay for it when in fact it will be totally unnecessary as by then LENR will be in the market.

Why have an expensive and dirty (radioactive) fuel in a huge plant when LENR is clean and can be made up in small cheap units.

Sigma 5. What is it.?

Sigma 5 is a measure of how confident scientists feel their results are. If experiments show results to a 5 sigma confidence level, that means if the results were due to chance and the experiment was repeated 3.5 million times then it would be expected to see the strength of conclusion in the result no more than once.

Today it was announced that the LENR E-Cat Quark X prototype has reached Sigma 5.
A demonstration of the new energy technology is coming late this month. This one is aimed at huge installations like power stations, purely because domestic appliances require separate safety certificates. One thing at a time.
Sadly it has taken nearly 30 years since Fleischmann & Pons found something fundamental in nuclear energy, and they were so roundly condemned that nobody would risk their careers to research a very real phenomenon in physics. Since then pretty much only retired scientists with an interest, or open mind, and engineers (who simply don't care whether scientists think something is possible or not) have struggled on nothing budgets to research this energy source. Now we enter the stage of 'show us what engine you've got under that bonnet'. For example, that took decades for John Harrison to have his sea clock accepted as valid, and they still wanted to nick the technology off him without due payment. That isn't going to happen any less painfully when the global economy is about to use another commodity over oil.

New energy? We don't need that when we can borrow/spend/hock billions from the Chinese for some 'modern' nuclear fuel.....

Indeed. Of course I wouldn't want everyone to get excited [oh, I see nobody did, except Handyman]. Perhaps I can interest people in Tesla's solar roof tiles. Cheaper than a conventional roof tile, stronger too, but converts the daylight energy to electricity, and is that efficient they'll even produce power in strong moonlight. Don't buy a new roof until you have at least considered these: https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/solarroof

We are so going to stuff ourselves.
 
its interesting seeing the changes made to the city as i only spend June in England, are they going to dp anything with that mall by bargate that has been empty for 5 years?
 
I have just had a look at the I am a celeb line up(I know, I know) and I see our ex player Denis Wise is in there,also Amir Khan and Jamie Vardys wife???

And Boris Johnson’s dad, who doesn’t think BoJo will even know he is in the programme from start to finish.
I recall a story, where Johnson senior was barracked by someone shouting “Johnson you’re a w*nker”, to which he replied “I think you are mistaking me for my son”. <laugh>
