For what it is worth, I called Dr. Rich Carlin at ONR on October 16, 2001. He is head of their Physical Sciences and Technologies Division. His division used to fund cold fusion research during its peak, but no Navy funded research is going on now. He told me there are a lot of uncertainties remaining regarding the interpretation of the experiments and how well they were done, but ONR is not interested in funding further studies. ONR has no official position on cold fusion, but they are not pursuing it.

The official position of the US Navy does not support cold fusion of the Fleischmann and Pons type. In fairness, the official Navy position does not deny it either.

FWIW, several labs joined together in efforts for this report.

I hope you read it.

That's the official story, anyway.
