Thanks to Garjog for the reminder about this report from a couple of years ago, it turns out it was never posted on FR.

You'll know when the credibility of this research reaches the tipping point. The price of oil will drop and stay dropped. The price of palladium will go through the roof (remember what happened back in '89). Environmentalists will find some way to attack cold fusion.

I wonder if nuclear war will break out in the Middle East as the various oil-producing countries try to knock out each other's production facilities to keep the price up as long as possible.

We don’t need fusion. Thorium will do the job nicely:

This is truly revolutionary. Please take a look at it.

This is the third time I’ve heard that they’ve discovered cold fusion. If this one turns out like the other two, I won’t hear about it again for another 10 years.

I have absolutely no idea whether this is really cold fusion or something else, but it doesn’t seem even remotely feasible economically. I’m basing my opinion on the description of the devices. It seems like a lot of expense to (potentially) generate very, very tiny amounts of heat. What’s the likelihood of something like this ever generating enough power to run a modern industrial society? For comparison, solar power generation exists and is a proven technology, but it’s hardly competitive. What am I trying to say? Just because something CAN be done doesn’t mean it will be done, and we aren’t even sure at this point cold fusion CAN be done.

cold fusion = globull warming.

[SpaceBar]

60 Minutes didn’t report about cold fusion, they reported about as yet unproven claims of a currently elusive phenomenon dubbed cold fusion, but admittedly that’s too long for a headline.

CBS, fake but accurate.

Kevmo, this is a comment about CBS, not you or cold fusion.
