I have always thought there was something to cold fusion. Back in 1988 when it was first announced I went and bought the WSJ because of the coverage in there.
If I had a say in where Federal research money goes I would put 100 million into cold fusion long before the “green energy” schemes that get funding. One example is growing algae in ponds to turn into biomass to make ethanol. Can you imagine the massive energy expenditures just to dry out that goop.
Yes, but avoiding all that is exactly what the Joule technology is about. Their process goes straight to diesel with minimal biomass growth.
