This is a strawman. No one has made the claim that Juergens made any such prediction. The point is that he was one of the first to predict energetic electrical reactions in relation to comets.
And as you said yourself, 'considering the energies involved'. In other words you imply that it goes without saying that X-Rays are probable.

Another strawman. No such claim has been made. My point is that EM radiation is a signature of EM phenomena in space on a much broader scale than just the behaviour of comets.
On the one hand you infer that electrical reactions in space are insginificant, and on the other you admit that they are energetic enough to produce X-Rays. You cannot have it both ways.
