"The E-CAT believers are no different than Al Gore's minions who support his claims of global climate calamity on pure faith without a shred of factual evidence or independent verification. All this stuff about his idea being stolen is a smokescreen and a convenient excuse not to have the unit independently verified.

At least the E-cat "believers" have some data backing their points (from the demonstrations and videos). The anti's have nothing but their conjectures. So you've got it exactly backwards.

And since Rossi has negotiated and signed a formal research agreement with the U. of Bologna to do exactly an "independent verification", he cannot be accused of NOT having it so verified.

Your scientific background is 1000x better than mine so if you think there might be something to Rossi eCat then I am keeping my hopes up

Come October we shall see...I sure hope he arrives in October and does not push it back
