But he does not want anyone to conflate LENR and hydrino. Which is the logical progression. And please, Terry, no Uranus punage. Anyway, you can add this bit of data, courtesy of Wiki (paraphrased): Although Neptune lies half again as far from the Sun as Uranus, and receives only 40% its amount of sunlight, the two planets' surface temperatures are roughly equal. The source of this heating is unknown, but the discrepancy is large: Uranus only radiates 1.1 times as much energy as it receives from the Sun; while Neptune radiates about 2.61 times as much energy as it receives from the Sun. Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun [not counting Pluto] yet its internal energy is sufficient to drive the fastest planetary winds seen in the Solar System. Several possible explanations have been suggested, including radiogenic heating from the planet's core, conversion of methane under high pressure into hydrogen, diamond and hydrocarbons (the hydrogen and diamond would then rise and sink, respectively, releasing gravitational potential energy), and convection in the lower atmosphere that causes gravity waves to break above the tropopause. Conspicuously absent - LENR or a fractional hydrogen hypotheses... or the later leading to the former. I should also mention in re: the methane and its conversion that there is plenty of correlation in LENR to carbon chemistry, although it is usually more complex. And one would expect graphene and buckyballs before diamond, so this is a vector. I would bet - given Mizuno - that the ratio of 12C to 13C is higher on Neptune. Jones
