Here’s a similar outlook, from a Nobel prizewinner:
Nobel winner declares boycott of Nature and other top science journals
Randy Schekman says his lab will no longer send papers to Nature, Cell and
Science as they distort scientific process

Conspiracy theory time. What if a big name company is on the verge of coming up with the physics of LENR and have a reactor that uses it and is scalable to any size? Then they put the squeeze on journals to not only not publish anything LENR related but to denigrate it as well until the big company is ready to announce?
It makes a good story. The first one with the physics on this gets the glory even if others laid the foundation.
Hank Mills at Blacklightpower.com has his own TOE yet, despite announcing power company deals several years ago, is unable to either make it scale up or work reliably and predictably and he's spent many millions.
Despite the generally negative press generated by Rossi's antics, a lot of people and companies (Mitsubishi) are pressing on. I certainly hope we're on the verge of something world changing.
If only Obama would use his brilliant mind on this instead of on soaring rhetoric. That's a joke, he can't even spell physics but I bet he'll be there to somehow take credit for it, that or a 'journalist' will do it for him.
The next few years should be interesting science wise.
