See, when electric power was a new invention Edison set up a Power Generating Station in New York City. If this thing works why don't they set it up somewhere and generate some power to establish proof of concept?

If they can't do that then I say it is all a huge load of Bull Shit!

Because what’s going on today is the modern equivalent of theft of Edison’s invention. He was allowed a patent, Rossi isn’t. Would Edison put on such a grand demo under such conditions? Hell no!! He would have been eminently paranoid that someone would steal his simple solution of a carbon fiber.

You might be interested to hear that developers of this technology are taking exactly that tack, and simply bypassing the mainstream scientific community. In fact, there are companies large and small, around the world, rushing to be the first to get a device to market.

There really isn't much point in proving the science to anyone but investors. Do a little digging, and you'll quickly discover that a lot of well known companies are quietly racing to get on base with this before the whole world catches on.
