I was a skeptic at first because it seemed too much like a “free lunch”, but now I am convinced Rossi is telling the truth, e-cat is real and it’s going to be a major game-changer if it enters actual production.

I am just wondering what the electric power and oil industries will do to suppress it. I just can’t believe they are going to lay down and die without a fight.

***Probably what IBM did when microcomputers started to eat their lunch. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. They have tons of resources to bring to bear on this turf battle.

If they thought it was for real they would likely be trying to buy it and build a dominant position in the e-cat business. They certainly have the resources to do it.

If it's real, they will jump on the bandwagon. Think about what is happening to the wireline telephone business with the advent of cellular technology. They only have to put in one (big) wire supplying a tower to service dozens of customers, rather than running little wires to each customer. The maintenance savings will pay for the investment in no time at all.

The power and oil companies are now paying huge costs in maintenance on their delivery systems. If they can save that $$ because they can locate the power station close to the point of need, it will pay for a lot of other stuff, or make them much more profitable in other areas.
