"In the wake of Fukushima accident is discussed again the future of nuclear power. The rush to replace the world's eighty percent dependent on fossil fuels coal, oil and gas. Severe climate change will probably be difficult to avoid without massive expansion of both renewables and nuclear.
Very large investments are being made to greatly improve existing nuclear reactors. Within a few decades are expected to see a new type of reactors, breeder reactors, both safer and more efficient than today's reactors. In an even longer perspective, the hope is that the hot fusion on a large scale to provide humanity with almost infinite amount of energy.
But maybe all these planned large-scale facilities to competition of small reactors that could be every man and woman were property. The cold fusion has been developed recently in Bologna can be housed in an apparatus which is not much bigger than a coffee maker and generating energy only with a few teaspoons of nickel powder.
An intensive discussion on the net have questioned the experiment in Bologna mainly by it can not be explained by the established nuclear physics theory. It has also been speculated that the derivative produced heat energy must have been greatly overestimated mainly by an overestimation of the buildup of steam. At the lecture, these issues will be treated in order to gain a better understanding of the experiment in Bologna. "

Nope. In fact I can say that he "was" "compensated by Rossi". Rossi paid his travel costs, as he did for the other Swede. But I "really" don't think that that "compensation" qualifies as "being suborned".
Rossi shut down the Oct 28 demo because the customer requested it. He shut down the Oct 6 demo because everyone wanted to go home and sleep.
Like when the Wright brothers knew they could fly and it was the visitors asking for demos who doubted, Rossi is picking and choosing who and when and how his demos are going. I doubt it’s to avoid radiation. It is probably because, like the Wright brothers, giving demos doesn’t necessarily lead to sales.
