Well, it is my fervent hope that CF turns out be screamingly real and practical, so we can tell the ragheads to both pound and eat sand.
Even if it's real the material that seems to get the best results, palladium, is rare and expensive. Probably good for exotic energy needs under the best of circumstances but not a panacea. I think the best we can hope for is the opening of a new field of physics research. I would be happy with that.
