The believer in cold fusion will not accept a negative report. Thus the review panel will have no effect.

I'm not sure what compels people to trash efforts to find new discoveries Self-conceit, vanity, egotism.
The more knowledge we collect, the more puffed up we get.
And some people would rather say their mother's a whore than admit they're wrong.

Some scientists maintain that it is impossible; others say its possible ...
I'd like to think that it is possible. Then, when the power company calls, you can say: Reconnect fee? I don't think so.
To: DoughtyOne
Yeah, imagine how crazy it must've sounded when two guys in the 1940s said they wanted to make electricity "think." Sounds nuts, doesn't it? Well, I have about six of those impossible "computer" machines sitting in my apartment right now. Nothing is impossible, it just needs to be figured out.

Not a chance! Can you say Big Oil.
Perhaps Big Oil will become Big Hydrogen!

Perhaps Big Oil will become Big Hydrogen! Or Big Palladium.

cold fusion has continued to be worked on by a small group of scientists, and they say their figures unambiguously verify the original report, that energy can be generated simply by running an electrical current through a jar of water. And all you have to do is 5 easy payments of $19.95 (in millions) in grant money...

U.S. Will Give Cold Fusion Second LookI watched Cold Fusion last night. Warren Miller movies are awesome.
To: PatrickHenry
thanks for the ping.
Fusion by-products and other anomalies have been reported.
We will see if they can be repeated.
To: kcvl; All
Many US and labs overseas (and some FReepers) have reproduced cold fusion.
There was an open demo this Summer attended by FReepers.
At that meeting, Mitshubishi and Toyota presented their recent results.

"...California is experiencing rolling blackouts due to power shortages.
Conventional engineering, planned ahead, could have prevented these
blackouts, but it has been politically expedient to ignore the inevitable.
We do not know if Cold Fusion will be the answer to future energy needs,
but we do know the existence of Cold Fusion phenomenon through
repeated observations by scientists throughout the world.
It is time that this phenomenon be investigated
so that we can reap whatever benefits accrue from additional scientific understanding.
It is time for government funding organizations to invest in this research"

Do you drive your Insight at night with headlights, use the A/C, use the heater?
The EPA does none of these things when they run their tests because the effect of these devices is small on a gas engine. It is huge on a hybrid.
Hybrids work okay in urban environments in temperate zones as "go to work" cars. I don't think we'll see one that can fit a large family (and the ones in my church these days are forced to buy 15 passenger vans due in part to ever more obnoxious child seat rules.)

U.S. Will Give Cold Fusion Second Look, After 15 Years
I recently met someone from the
Institute for Defense Analyses who told me they were asked by the government to prepare an analysis of the field of so-called cold fusion and that their conclusion was that there was actually something going on but that the government should let the science settle out before funding research.
