I believe it's already too late to control the introduction of LENR products in the market soon by politics.
There are already too much details known.
Besides, Rossi hinted already of his technology being available open source on medium term (his interview on Jan 14th this year).

In general US citizens are paranoid thinking that the government and military can control all of this.
If Rossi will be too much hindered in the US he will move to Europe or worst case to Africa where regulations and control are a bit less tight.
In my view this can't be controlled worldwide, regulations will always be slow, while Rossi will launch within this year or early next year.

It's kind of lucky Rossi is producing in the US and Defkalion in Europe. That makes the chance that all of this will be suppressed or too much controlled slim.
Once a few products are in the market, it will be very soon replicated and the essence will be openly available.
Times are changed, one publication on the internet and secrets are out.

I agree that if LENR product will be rolled out soon and with large quantities this could cause some political instability.
But a huge transition will not happen within one year, it will happen over 15 - 20 years.

Earlier I indicated that I expect a similar boost to global economies will happen compared to what internet brought us.
There is one exeption in the comparison however: In Europe in particular a huge amount of tax is raised on fossile fuels (e.g. in my country the tax percentage on petrol is approx. 85%).
In general this means governments will get less tax income from taxed energy sources if LENR becomes main stream.
And taxing LENR based energy sources can not be justified, since there is no harmfull waste like CO₂.

This means that other (existing) tax rates will be raised to compensate losses in tax income of governments.
In Europe discussions are onging to change the tax system such that in particular an increased tax will be raised on goods.
Resources are becoming more scarce, or get hijacked (look at what e.g. China is doing).

But in general, people will benifit until the LENR roll-out has matured.
More jobs, cheaper products (in the early phase of the LENR age), more areas to build houses in colder climates because of more affordable heating, larger areas of agriculture (greenhouses) etc.
Lot's of new R&D efforts and eager investors.

First economic analysis on the effect of LENR are appearing on the internet:

(too optimistic in my view)

@teslaalset and chessnyt

"Cold Fusion Now" depicts a wonderful future of smooth transition and altruistic behaviour from the energy cartel.

In my opinion this is utterly childish. Much lesser threats to the energy cartel have resulted in a sad story for the opponent.
 
I don´t think LENR is on safe ground yet. They are actually far from safety, and by succumbing to greed and keeping it all secret
they are actually making it quite easy for the guys that they are threatening.

Nobody besides AR and Defkalion has been able to create LENR with same energy efficiency.
 
NOBODY.
 
And it took Andrea Rossi 18 years of research to get to the point he is today.
What the rest of us besides Defkalion know today about the e-cat is just about as much as they knew about the Nickel-hydrogen phenomenon in the 90's.
The whole LENR movement is still only known by a very limited number of people, far from the main stream media, and most of us I believe will be easily misled if AR and D-K are effectively discredited.

It's a piece of cake for the energy cartel to put an end to it all. There is an abundance of means to put an end to the progress.

It's not about being positive or negative, it's just how the world is.
Do you really believe we are living in a fair world with a fair chance for everyone to succeed?
Not until it is all open source we are a little more on the safe side.
 

I don't really understand how anyone can miss the following alarm signals:

1.  Andrea Rossis only MW buyer is a shady Anonymous who has ordered every unit available, thus securing all production into 
     one single direction.

 
2.  The choice to change supplier from National Instruments to a Anonymous supplier was not the choice of Andrea Rossi.
     It was the choise of the buyer.

     Don't you see what I see?

3.  As a result of this move by the Anonymous buyer also the electronic supplier to the domestic e-cats has been put behind the   
     curtain.

4.  And even worse is the conclusion:  Everything seems to become deliberately associated with the Anonymous buyer.
 
     Andrea Rossi is slowly loosing his footing.    Quoting the "E-cat World" February 19 :

     From what Rossi says here it appears that he no longer is the sole decision maker in the development and commercialization 
     of the E-Cat  - the ‘Trust to which Leonardo Corporation now belongs’ is making decisions which possibly may be overriding
     Rossi's own ideas.  /end of quote
 
    There ARE two alternatives here, nobody can deny that:

1. Andrea Rossi is in good hands, the Anonymous buyer is a reliable group of people, charing the revolutionary path of LENR.
2. Andrea Rossi is unknowingly subjected to an organization created with one goal, to stop public access to this technology.
 
Hope I am wrong and you are right

Some more on NI<>Leonardo Corp.:
http://e-catsite.com/2012/02/21/ni-corroborates-rossi-statements/

My personal view is that Defkalion seems to perfectly cope without the help of NI.
Rossi obtained the help of NI in the initial phase of defining a good control mechanism for his LENR process.
For the mass production obviously cheeper solutions are available.
So, I see the cooperation with NI as a one off consultancy deal that has been completed.
It was never stated anywhere that NI components would be used in the final products.

Good articles teslaalset.   Nice to see National Instruments validated their work with Rossi and that they expressed interest in the value of his technology.  Cline's article was fun to read too - rather hilarious at times but possibly the way a lot of things could happen. 

teslaalset,
 
thanks for the steam analysis link, very valuable, and thanks for respecting my worried opinions.

I soo want to jump onto the shiny optimistic wagon and I hate being the negative nagging old crone here,
but the impact of history won't leave me at rest.
 
I agree on every point about the good reasons for Andrea Rossi's choice to go along with the changes demanded by the Anonymous buyer.
At the same time this may be exactly what a potential opponent want us to think.
 
In any case, I have vented my worries, and now I want to join the happy guys.
No more nagging from me from now on.

@Everyone:
Rossi gave another rare interview this afternoon with a Mr. Frank Acland.  A host of various topics were discussed clearing up some of the concerns poorly addressed until now.  In this interview (on 2/25/2012), the topics covered were as follows:
 
o  The Investor’s Trust
o  1 MW E-Cat Plant
o  Electrical Production (from steam temperature of 251 degrees C)
o  National Instruments
o  Domestic E-Cats
o  Competition
o  U.L. Certification
o  Patents
o  Rossi’s Health
 
Here are just a few excerpts from the article arising out of today's interview:
 
"The final size of these units will be 12 x 12 x 4 inches, and the weight will be 20 lb. A special synthetic insulating material surrounds each reactor to ensure maximum efficiency. There will not be any pictures of the unit released until the fall when he starts accepting orders.
 
Rossi emphasized that the 10 kW units are designed to be added on to existing heating systems, not to replace them. It will be an appendage that can be used to provide heat to whatever system already exists in homes, allowing users to save on their current sources of fuel. The heat output of these units will be between 40 and 80 degrees C. They will be able to provide home heat and hot water. These units will have fully automatic controls — the customer is not able to modify its operations; Rossi said a COP of 6 is guaranteed.
 
The units will cost between $600 and $900 per unit, a price that he feels will discourage anyone from going into competition with similar units that are based on reverse engineering of his products. Production is not planned outside the US because the small size of these units makes it fairly efficient to ship all over the world. Customs and shipping costs could make these units up to 20 percent more expensive outside the US."

It appears that Rossi is starting to realize that you must be a "people person" if you intend to do well in a position as CEO in any corporation.  Apparently to me, it looks as though Defkalion may have lit a new fire under Rossi's temperament and public relations. 
 
 
To an exciting and bright new future,
