Well, it looks like you’re trying to come up to speed.
Certainly not.
I actually don’t have much of an opinion one way or the other, or even knowledge of the subject, myself. I was just throwing out the basic arguments against it which I found on the internet. Two of the items I posted I think was supportive of it.
What I do know, though, is that throughout the history of science, in every area of it, there is a long list of skeptics who have been proven wrong.
Yes, that is correct. So I’m focusing on pushing my retirement accounts into a position where Big Oil is shorted, Stirling cycle engines are in, desalination is in, and other ways to put my money where my mouth is. I’m not quite sure how to do it.
In addition, Rossi did not want to subject the ECat to demos nor attention. He simply wanted to start selling them when the time was right. But his partner Focardi had cancer, and Focardi wanted recognition for all that he had done. So, Rossi relented and gave the crappiest set of demos one could imagine. Here we are 2 years later, Focardi dead from cancer, and Rossi going back to being rather cryptic and acting as eccentric as he wants.
But there’s been some significant blinking dots on the dashboard with Rossi. One, he submitted the ECat to black-box testing and it was found to have 20,000 times more energy density than gasoline. Two, after having sold his house to fund his efforts, he now has been buying real estate in Florida (and threatening to sue Wikipedia for libel). This is after claiming that he’s no longer CEO but rather CFO of his enterprise, so it would appear he’s got some money coming in already, at least he’s acting in that fashion. Three, he announced that one of his factories was able to generate an excess heat device without him ever being involved with the process, only by way of his instructions. The last time LENR was this close to a breakout was with Patterson, who died and never let his secret out so it died with him.
Rossi will go into history as either a great inventor, or a great scam artist. Either way, it is worth keeping track of.
***Exactly what I’ve been saying. I haven’t posted a “Rossi Says” article in over 2 years, but one wouldn’t have known it based upon how many times the skeptopaths bring up Rossi in order to discredit any efforts in LENR.
If you don’t want to spend money on a good introductory book “Excess Heat” by Beaudette, then there are a lot of good intro sources to download for free (including excerpts from Beaudette’s book) at

And, of course, you could read up on where things are just by cruising the “cold fusion” keyword on FR

The troll rebuttal is the same thing as being called a denier in the AGW argument.
Well, if you want to display your ignorance like a peacock and pretend it to be a virtue, you’re welcome to proceed.
Is that a direct Al Gore quote?
Is algore sitting on 14000 replications that we’re all blithely overlooking? No. But you are blithely overlooking the science behind LENR.
