Your trusting of Jed Rothwell is touching, really but it's like saying out of all the people in charge of the Third Reich, you trusted Goering.
Two Third Reich references and not one Goddard.
This is from wiki so keep that in mind:
In 1974, Rossi registered a patent for an incineration system. In 1978, he wrote The Incineration of Waste and River Purification, published in Milan by Tecniche Nuove. He then founded Petroldragon, a company for developing oil from waste, which collapsed in the 1990s amidst allegations of dumping toxic waste,[11] and accusations of tax fraud. Its assets were seized, together with Rossi's personal assets, and Rossi was arrested pending trial. Rossi spent four years in prison working on his legal defense in 56 trials, 5 of which ended in convictions related to tax fraud. Rossi wrote that he was acquitted in the other 51 trials.[12] The government of Lombardy spent over forty million euros to dispose of the 70,000 tonnes of toxic waste that Petroldragon had improperly dumped.[13] According to the mayor of Lacchiarella, Luigi Acerbi, "In the years when [Rossi] was working here, he didn't produce a single drop of oil, as far as we know."[12] At the conclusion of the trials in 1996, Rossi moved to the US.[14]
Complete and total crap. Rothwell is one of the most scrupulous researchers I have ever seen. I guess you put great faith in Steve Krivit, who I trust as little as you trust Rossi.

You talk to me about Goering, and you quote WIKIPEDIA, whose prejudice against LENR approaches that of Science, Nature, and Scientific American.
What makes you think the mayor is telling anything close to the truth and not a handboy for the Mafia...who "own" the waste disposal business in Italy??
So yes, I'll trust Rothwell, whom I have observed over many years over an unknown Italian politician.
