Consortium Proposes LENR Research to Chilean Government
Oct. 28, 2016 – By Steven B. Krivit –
The Chilean government and Ministry of Mining are interested in LENR (low-energy nuclear reactions), according to a businessman who met with Chilean government representatives recently about the matter.
Roberto Sone, the president of Sciencenergy, a private company in Valparaíso, Chile, told New Energy Times yesterday about the meeting. Sone provided a Web link to a press release at the Ministry of Mining.
According to the press release, Sone, a mechanical engineer, and his associates at Federico Santa Maria University, spoke at a hearing on Oct. 17 at the Ministry of Mining. There, they met with Jimena Jara, the Chilean undersecretary of energy, and presented a proposal for LENR research.
Sone said that Pedro Sariego, a professor of mechanical engineering, is leading an interdisciplinary group of scientists at the university in investigating LENR phenomena.
Sone declined to provide New Energy Times with a copy of the proposal. He made several claims to New Energy Times about the results of the group’s LENR research but was unable to provide any scientific or technical documents.
“We are working with the state of Chile,” Sone said. However, he provided only the press release to support his statement.

To the Editor:
This Chile thing sounds very suspect. Sariego seems to have no background at all:
