Why don’t you buzz off and eat some garbage?

Over on Network World where I’ve had a gig as a columnist for about 18 years, my Backspin column I wrote this week about a power generation system called E-Cat that is to be tested on October 28th .
If you’ve missed the recent brouhaha over the E-Cat (which stands for Energy Catalyzer), you’re missing out on a three ring circus over a technology that will either change everything or change nothing because what is promised is, in theory, power too cheap to be worth metering .

Mainstream Media Finally Picking up on Rossi and E-cat
http://energycatalyzer3.com/news/mainstream-media-finally-picking-up-on-rossi-and-e-cat
It seems like the mainstream media in the United States is finally picking up on the importance of Andrea Rossi’s e-cat device. In a column on the website of one of America’s most prestigious business publications Forbes, Mark Gibbs accurately describes what e-cat is and more importantly grasps its potential for changing the world.
Mark Gibbs
This is the first time that a mainstream publication in the US has seriously covered the e-cat or at least made an effort to understand it. At least one journalist in the US is trying. Anyway the article and a similar one that Gibbs wrote for the trade publication Network World that has also been published on a batch of websites makes some interesting points. His understanding of the science like mine is quite fuzzy but Mr. Gibbs does seem to understand how revolutionary low energy nuclear reaction will be.
The below is in his worlds but it does a very good job of describing how e-cat could affect the economy:
• Where today you use petroleum products for motive energy (for example, to propel cars, trucks, and planes) you will be using steam engines or Stirling engines. In theory you’ll be able to drive across the country for cents. What will that do to the trucking industry? The shipping industry? Aviation?
• With the demand for gasoline falling overnight and petroleum becoming needed primarily as feedstock for plastics, the US would immediately become self-sufficient in crude oil. What will happen in the Middle East without the huge flow of cash from the Western hemisphere? How will world politics be changed?
• An E-Cat system could power your house or office making the existing grid obsolete. What would it mean to make your personal and corporate electricity and gas bills nearly zero?
• The cost of manufacturing would fall very quickly with energy removed from the equation. If you are in manufacturing of any kind, this will affect you enormously. How fast could and how would you rework your corporate strategy to become competitive in a market where prices suddenly plummeted (note that the suddenly reduced cash flows would play havoc with the finance structures of many corporations).
Note I do disagree with Mr. Gibbs on one point here, cold fusion will not make fossil fuels like oil or natural gas obsolete overnight. Conversion to the new technology will take several years at the minimum. Still it is a disruptive technology that could change everything.
This could soon be obsolete thanks to Mr. Rossi and others
I might also add that the big demand for oil from the Middle East is in Europe not the USA. The countries most effected if the US wasn’t buying oil would be Canada, Mexico and Venezuela (Hugo Chavez had better start house shopping in Miami if the oil money stops and make sure he has a couple of extra rooms for his friends the Castro brothers to stay in).
This could soon go the way of the livery stable and dial telephones
He also fails to note all the extra profits lots of business will make without high energy costs. Many of those would be passed onto the consumers which would be good. Gibbs also does not seem to be aware of some of the other work being done in cold fusion such as that at Defkalion and at Brillouin.
Nickle is not the most abundant mineral..so investments in nickle mines should be good. Officially, I must doubt this modern alchemy.
The only words worth reading in his entire column.
Whether this works or not, there WILL be some discoveries in the next several years that will drastically reduce the cost and increase the accessibility of energy. The incentives, and the currently unused inventiveness of engineers, etc. (”the unemployed engineer working in the garage”) are bound to make this happen.
When it does happen, then bye-bye muzzies!!!! And bye-bye Algore and the entire strategy of the Dictator Party!!!!
Why don’t you buzz off and eat some garbage?
And be able to tell Israel, "Hey, nobody needs them anymore. If they screw with you, WIPE THEM OUT!
Mark
How wonderful would it to be able to tell the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, Iraq, Iran, and the rest of those countries to GO POUND SAND!
***Literally
Seagulls are turd eaters ;-)
Assume you saw the report from the Motorola Solutions physicist who measured a 3:1 output-to-input energy production ratio even in an abbreviated test. 3 to 1 says there’s something going on here!
Yep.

***So naturally, the seagull criticism of that finding is that 3:1 is too low for commercial viability. Rossi had the output dialed down to 1/3 or so.

Everything I know about cold fusion was learned from a guest on the Art Bell radio program, 1999. The man had built a cold fusion generator in his backyard. It’s true! Really!

***Well, then we must all bow to your superior knowledge of this subject /s
Cheap and plentiful energy caused the industrial revolution and second industrial revolution and America’s growth in the 50’s-70’s. It is one of the major determining factors in prosperity (freedom to act is too, of course)
I thought Motorola Solutions was communications company, and how do you know that Bob Higgins is a physicist?
You do realize that your continued attacks against other posters expressing their opinions is likely the single largest reason why these ideas are being treated like Art Bell fantasies?
Every time I get tempted to look deeper into this, I come across one of your smart assed seagull comments and realize that you're acting just like a liberal - you attack the poster rather than their point. And that, for a discussion forum, is a pretty abusive response. Maybe ECat will work, maybe it won't, but personally, I'd prefer if you stumbled off to a forum which encourages such childish behavior and leave posting on this topic to people who can actually conduct useful discussions, including those who doubt the technology.
Yah, bowl sheet. My comment is smart a$$ed, librul and childish while his Art Bell comment furthers serious discussion.
