But if
  1. Nobody doubts the temperature rises were real, and
  2. they were getting out more energy than they put in...
who cares why it works! Start extracting power NOW!!!

Yes, yes, I do understand that we don't want to deploy a high-energy something that is poorly understood -- too many risks of problems. So if the two items above are correct, why aren't we going berserk trying to understand it well enough to use the effect?

My understanding had been that (beyond the missing neutrons), there were serious questions about item #2 on my list. Do any of you know differently?
