Just as I said, a lab curiosity, experiments with varying theories, outcomes and methods...and failures.
Skeptical? You bet....of the LENR powered cars, water heaters, industrial heating and robotic factories that have been so gullibly accepted.
Lab Curiosity? One which has been replicated 14,700 times.

An excellent description of EVERY scientific discovery and engineering advance ever made. And typically misleading.
Also very typically skeptopath lingo, in this case, the specific meme is: "if you can't actually deny the science, make it look like it will never yield a practical result".
Meanwhile, "hot fusion" chugs along, gulping down billions of dollars in funding, and not yet having reached breakeven....a point passed by LENR with Pons and Fleischmann.
For lurkers: if you want to learn more about cold fusion, THE best reference is Charles Beaudette's book "Excess Heat". The book gives an excellent treatment of the replicated science AND some of the sociology behind LENR being branded "pathological science"......a meme regularly regurgitated by FR's skeptopath crowd.
