scrutiny was in 1989, when two little-known University of
Utah scientists announced that they had harnessed the secret of the sun's energy in a
test tube at room temperature - the discovery of so-called cold fusion.
The announcement, which promised a nearly limitless source of cheap energy,
turned out to be wrong. But a panel later
determined that the scientists were guilty only of sloppy lab work and wishful thinking."
Nonsense. Cold fusion 
is real, and has been confirmed in
several labs including the US Navy.
Even the recent international ICCF-9 meeting was a success
and present more developments.
If Robert Park and those who in that past attacked cold fusion
for their own PERSONAL reasons damaging US security,
are attacking this scientist,then Schon may be correct.
