Ocean communities will have cheap electricity and can power desalination machines (or use steam), and pump freshwater into converted farm locations that have been too arid to farm. Converting food into energy and vice-versa is just common sense. We run on energy; albeit food energy. There will soon be an abundance of green energy scientists available to work on the most efficient methods of converting power into food. Yummy algae shakes and such. This is one reason I am surprised to see so much greed among the scientists involved. They all want their "billion dollars". I think with something so world altering they should be more into free source information, and be satisfied with their names on a few schools.

There's also bio engineering of oil from algae which could also produce large amounts of biodiesel. Oil is no longer a major heat source in the United States almost nobody uses it anymore in the Western US where it has been supplanted by propane.

Any number I mention will simply be an estimate so any data generated would be pure guess work. The problem is that the numbers don’t seem to exist yet.

My guess is that LENR will make the oil market more unstable. Note big oil companies will probably be major investors in LENR. I'm more interested in what people do rather than their motivations. If people invest in something good simply to make money more power to them. I also bet that there will be a huge flood of venture capital and investment money into LENR as soon as a viable LENR device hits the market. You're absolutely right about the market being short term. I agree oil prices could come down. My guess is that LENR will make the oil market more unstable.

And the market (constructed to be short-termist) will run. After that the price will stabilise as real investors (not playboys) buy in low in recognition of a safe bet for 5-10 years. So expect cheap oil then realistic oil. Companies will lose, but individuals will win, if they choose to evaluate their humanity outside of companies.

Steam generators based on LENR can be placed in existing power generating facilities, supplying power to the grid. If home based LENR devices come on the market soon, they will be very cost competitive with current oil based domestic heating and power units. Also a lot of progress has been made with genetic engineering of biodiesel producing plants and algae, which can be used for energy or as the raw materials for plastic production. They require less land and require less water than conventional crops. These new sources of biodiesel will useful in both automobiles and aircraft. When countries like Japan start making huge bets on renewable resources, we can expect things to happen quite quickly. It might not take that long for LENR to supplant coal and oil.

This would take LENR to a creditable status and best of all is the proposed 'open source' method prof Abundo proposed much like Android! Maybe the netizens (someone credible) can set up a donation campaign to secure the funding. I could afford usd1000.

How is development much faster now. In many ways technology development seems to be much slower. For instance rocket technology and spacecraft aren't much better than they were when the original Star Trek was first aired. In some instances yes. How is development much faster now.
