Hey, you’ve been here 15 years but frankly, it appears to me you’re off the deep end on cold fusion. You certainly have that faith-in-theory fervor of the AGW crowd going on.

Look, take my advice: essentially 99.9% of FReepers are going to disregard ‘cold fusion’ until there’s a working power plant hooked up to customers and drawing revenue. The fact that the technology is so promising yet not producing commercial power means it’s ‘too good to be true’.

All this time and it’s not producing commercial power to customers? Ergo it’s bogus. They could fly to Vanuatu or any one of thousands of Not-Part-Of-The-Big-Conspirators-Control locations and set one up and start drawing revenue, but Noooooo. And the notion that ‘Rossi et al aren’t interested in money’ is utter BS.

When a cold fusion power plant up and running and producing revenue then give me a ping.

It either works or it doesn’t. If it worked it’d receiving revenue from paying customers. But it’s not doing that.

Frankly, it all sounds like an OTC:BB outfit. <<< CLUE.

justa, a clue for you, things take time. latest news on not fusion power plants is they'll be reaching break even in 30 years or so.

Hey, that's several trillion dollars ago, and the news is the same every year ~ wait 30 years! and that's for break even.

As i know if you don't, there are folks who read the LENR threads and never comment.

A clue for ya' ~ read. Someday when you have a meaningful comment, write.

BTW, math is much more than addition ~

***If LENR is a scaleable technology it will be the most impactful development in history, similar to gunpowder.

You certainly have that faith-in-theory fervor of the AGW crowd going on.
***There are more than a dozen theories of LENR, none of which stand out as obvious. Similarly, there are multiple theories of Gravity and none of them stand out as obvious. We know gravity exists, we can describe its behavior (the Law of Gravity) but there is no verified theory of gravity. So, no... I do not have faith in any theory. I have faith in FACTS and observations. The FACT that this Anomalous Heat Effect has been replicated more than 14,700 times. Like Feynman said, experiment trumps theory.

Look, take my advice: essentially 99.9% of FReepers are going to disregard ‘cold fusion’ until there’s a working power plant hooked up to customers and drawing revenue.
***How is that advice? It’s just a statement from Justa.

The fact that the technology is so promising yet not producing commercial power means it’s ‘too good to be true’.
***argument by cliche

All this time and it’s not producing commercial power to customers? Ergo it’s bogus.
***Same thing was said of the Wright brothers. Was their technology bogus? It was 15 years between the invention of the transistor and commercially available units. Was the transistor bogus during those 15 years? What a ridiculous argument. There’s a huge difference between a prototype and commercially available production units. This LENR stuff is extremely difficult. That’s why it hasn’t gone into production yet.

They could fly to Vanuatu or any one of thousands of Not-Part-Of-The-Big-Conspirators-Control locations and set one up and start drawing revenue, but Noooooo.
***basically you’re saying the same thing in a different way.

And the notion that ‘Rossi et al aren’t interested in money’ is utter BS.
***I don’t know where you get this idea that someone has such a notion. Rossi is doing this for the money. Duhh.

When a cold fusion power plant up and running and producing revenue then give me a ping.
***Why would I? When a hot fusion power plant is doing the same thing, you and I will have been dead for more than a century. But that hasn’t stopped $hundreds of billions being poured into the technology, while cold fusion experimenters go begging, and would love to get even 2% of that for experiments.

It either works or it doesn’t. If it worked it’d receiving revenue from paying customers. But it’s not doing that.
***saying the same thing in a different way, and as usual raising the bar for cold fusion while lowering it for hot fusion.

Frankly, it all sounds like an OTC:BB outfit. <<< CLUE.
***your arguments from cliche are inane enough, but now you’re just getting cryptic.
