Certainly more research into both hot and "cold" fusion will increase basic knowledge but as the mind breaking amounts of money spent on hot fusion demonstrate, increasing budgets do not necessarily lead to practical results and may never.
So it appears that enough money is being spent on cold fusion research even if not a green Niagra from Washington.
Cold Fusion only works in Italy. It’s called the ‘Chianti Effect.’
Something tells me that it is either not possible — or so easy they’ll wonder why it took them so long to figure it out.
Funny I watched Continuum the other night (short version; show about a cop that is accidentally sent back in time 65 years with a gang of terrorists that are actually patriots that want to stand against the big corporations that a part if the one world government but act like thugs; hard o tell who the good or bad guys at times) and there was a scientist that was developing cold fusion technology to meet energy needs but the military saw the potential to weaponize it and use it against the people.
Just a strange parallel there; science fiction imitating what might become real life. Good show on Syfy; I recommend it...: )
“Page Not Found” - did the FReeper Science Experts get it pulled or what?
LOL. Cold fusion has already demonstrated more progress than hot, having actually reached breakeven (and far more than breakeven).

How about we spend 1% of the funds thus far spent on "hot fusion" on LENR research??? Given that the "hot fusioneers" have been running a disinformation campaign against LENR since pretty much day one...the sole reason for which was to protect their monetary turf. An effort which has, unfortunately, been largely successful.
An interesting comparison would be the cumulative dollars funded by the government on high energy fusion and low energy fusion and divide those totals by the cumulative energies produced by each of the two processes.
