Rossi E-cat ping.

I noted this interview mentions beta decay but not gamma radiation. Beta decay is a lot more manageable from a personal-use standpoint, since a thin shield of lead or other dense material would be more than enough to keep any radiation escape to virtually nil. And that's consistent with what we've seen from the demonstration units.

So now I just want a safe, reliable way to transform heat into electricity (compared, say, to a steam turbine in everyone's basement) and I'm a happy camper.

(I sold a third of my utility stock holding over the weekend. Maybe this will end up being a boon to utilities in the short to mid-term, but my gut feeling is that ultimately, this will put power production into individual homes and businesses, rendering power utilities extinct.)

Imagine what this is going to do to the price of copper. No need for cross country wiring. The process produces copper anyway.

And the other thing ~ Northern Canada (which almost all there is of Canada anyway) can now be subdivided, sold off, and developed.

If this is totally on the money,and the roll out comes in an orderly fashion—ie without hold ups from various interest groups— none of this is going to significant significantly affect on utilities for at least 5 years.

What about bremstralung? High Z materials might not be the best thing.
