Cold Fusion Back From The Dead

Posted by michael on from the warmed-over dept.

misterfusion writes "Looks like the IEEE is warming up to cold fusion with the latest story "Cold Fusion Back from the Dead". This has been a good year for this field with several leading science journals (Physics Today, MIT Technology Review, etc) contributing stories. Things are warming up and if science Research & Development funding can be stimulated with a positive DoE report (due soon), it might be an interesting rebirth."

  1. no such thing. it's CON fusion by swschrad · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    as in CONfidence man. "cold fusion" is an artifact of lousy research with no controls, practiced by people working out of their league, with no understanding of the processes or energies involved, and is much more of a "faith-based initiative" than a laboratory pursuit.

    in other words, bullshit in a bottle being promoted as the sole exception to the laws of the universe.

    there will always be a few folks out... standing... in their field... in the rain. don't be giving them any credence. it's a funding grab by those with no scruples.

    ...mandate fuel efficient motor vehicles, build more nuclear power (the natural, almost God-given, successor to fossil fuels) stations and solar/wind/wave farms.

    Fusion is FUD ...
