Canuk Funding of LENR R&D?

Stand alone emails to officials usually have little impact. And, even pyrimidal efforts are unlikely to overcome inertia in high places. However, the timely intervention of November 23rd may well have helped deliver a desired result. An advocacy/educational blog post highlighting the relevant emails helps with public understanding and perhaps stimulates some research funding.

Before going to the email stream, let's look at an item on a very informative forum, E-Cat World, and an excerpt by commentator, Sanjeev:
Not every one of us 7 billion need to be convinced to start the growth of Cold Fusion. It does not work that way. Mostly it takes only few pioneers and capable people to create a revolutionary product. The fools refuse and deny, as usual, but a handful of smart ones grab the opportunity. When they finally start producing useful things, others try to mimic their success and so it spreads all over the world. The governments and established cos are the last to react, not the first, and its mostly a kind of damage control...

CF has taken the first step- useful power generation and investment by capable people. Now the second step is a product... Till then common people, even brilliant scientists, govs, cos, etc etc no one is going to pay any attention, however loud you shout the name of CF.

Suddenly, the US Dep't of Energy heard the shouting and opened up funding opportunities for LENR projects.

Hello, Mr President

First, sincere congratulations on your recent appointment.
Second, if U of T already has LENR research underway, double congrats.
Without abusing mail etiquette, these messages are being relayed to seniour government leaders and to some chiefs in Canadian educational, industry and research institutions. (first email begins at the bottom). Any responses are appreciated, and will not be distributed.
All the best in 2014

Hello, Honourable Minister Goodyear and Mr.Myers
Sorry for the pyrmidal e-mail, but it seemed to fit the scope and urgency of the message.
Nonetheless, even with a quick scan, both of you will appreciate the need to further educate your member cohorts -and to address action plans.
Have a happy holiday and success throughout the New Year.

Respectfuly,
Jim Sweeney

Dear Mr. Hamdullahpur
Kindly review the issues raised in emails to Queen's Park and your cohorts at Western University, and in my latest blog posts.
http://londont.blogspot.ca/
The newest version of Ontario's Long term Energy Plan commits to only what is deemed essential in the short term.
Unfortunately, there is no Santa. At this critical stage, leadership will have to come from indusry associations and from educational institutions.
With your background in education and research, you can see better than politicians (and this retired farmer) what actions are required.
Enjoy the holidays, and all success with your endeavours in the New Year.
Sincerely,
_jim sweeney

Dear Mr. Chakma and Mr. Capone
It looks like Energy Minister Bob Chiraelli and Premier Wynne see immenent breakthrough in electricity generation as they quench coal-fired plants, cancel plans for any new nuclear ones and stall refurbrishing of aged ones.
Undoubtedly you are monitoring the situation and are about to undertake educational and research initiatives related to the "new fire."
All the best in the New Year

Ladies and Gentlemen
There is litttle evidence that either Canada or its universites are pursuing development of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions. Perhaps your executive can push some buttons by relaying your comments along with the following link to the heads of appropriate organizations;

Dear Premier Wynne and Energy Minister Chiarelli

A copy of an email sent to a couple of journalists and mayors is forwarded to you on the premise that policy decisions should not be unduly influenced by lobbysts, their deep-pocketed clients and advertizing compromised media.
Please relay this appeal to MPPs participating on energy panels and others involved in important energy decisions.
Respectfully,
Jim Sweeney

Hello. Ms Wente
As you know the Canadian Nuclear Association and the Power Workers' Union are strongly lobbying to entrench nuclear power in the Province's Long-term Energy Plan. See full-page ad in your paper's Nov 19th edition.
At the same time, Bruce Power is advocating long-term underground storage of nuclear waste inland of its aged Kincardine reactors -while Japan and Germany are totally abandoning coal and nuclear power generation.
Have a look at the latest posts over at http://londont.blogspot.ca/ and enquire if there is any possibility Globe & Mail would permit its journalists to present an alernative path for Ontario's future energy.
