The two could be part of the same phenomenon in a local geometry (thus
permitting so-called Casimatter, which implies an antigravity effect). IOW
this does not have to be related to some kind of Hubble scale effect,
based on Universal expansion as the accelerating force.

That is - if there is truly a Scharnhorst effect, you should have Unruh
radiation as a side effect on the nanoscale. An interesting paper to build
on is: Hawking-Unruh Radiation and Radiation of a Uniformly Accelerated
Charge by Kirk T. McDonald

http://www.hep.princeton.edu/~mcdonald/accel/unruhrad.pdf
 
Although this radiation has a very low mass-energy (fractional eV equivalent
to a Delta-T of only 1 K) this should quickly add up inside Casimir
Cavities, in a cumulative fashion - which is where you might find an
accelerated charge (proton). This would be an alternative to the Lamb shift
hypothesis.

Well, I hope they take an active interest in cold fusion, and invest in it.

I have long felt that the opposition to cold fusion is weaker than it seems.
It is a mile wide and an inch deep as the expression goes. I felt that if
we could just reach out to people, and break through the noise and
distortions in the mass media, we could get more support. Support is likely
to lead to funding.

I realize there are powerful people opposed to the research, especially in
places such as the DoE. Opponents have often torpedoed funding. They stopped
the publication of the ACS book, which was later published here:

http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/BiberianJPjcondensedc.pdf

People such as Robert Park have often pulled strings to prevent funding.
Others in the establishment say nothing but they tacitly approve of
his shenanigans. As Ed Storms says, Park would have no influence if powerful
people did not agree with him. He is not the head of an agency. The only
thing he has is influence in high places. There is nothing untoward about
that. I wish I had such influence! The point is, this demonstrates that
opposition to cold fusion is widespread. It is a mile wide, as I said.

I have not conducted a public opinion poll of scientists but my impression
is that the skeptics are correct in saying that the claims are
largely disbelieved in the mainstream scientific community. (Wikipedia)
This is because most people in the mainstream scientific community know
nothing about the subject, so their views do not count. In any other
academic debate no one would dispute this. No one would say, for example:
Most American literary critics do not speak Japanese and have never heard
of Natsume Soseki so his works have no literary value. They would say the
people who know nothing about Japanese literature have no basis to discuss
any aspect of it.

The editors at most major journals despise cold fusion. It makes them angry,
because they are convinced it is a fraud and a waste of funding. The plasma
fusion people hate it the most. These opponents are all academic scientists.
They despise cold fusion because they are certain it
is theoretically impossible. Not because they fear it might be true! They
are not such fools they would oppose something they think might be true.

I do not know of anyone who opposes cold fusion because they have a vested
interest in oil, solar energy, or some other source of energy. So I am not
surprised that Milli Moratti is interested.

If cold fusion starts to succeed in a big way, then I expect many people in
the fossil fuel industry will begin to fear it. At present, I doubt any of
them do. But they do not confide in me so I wouldn't know.

Thanks again for excellent post! But I think that even this is
exaggerating, because in oil industry people who has there real power
are also immeasurable wealthy. And also they have usually more
realistic view of the real world, unlike poor people who might
irrationally be afraid of better world.

This means in practice that airplane that has E-Cat steam engine and
can fly through stratosphere is far more convenient than kerosene
propelled jet engine that loses most of its power in 10 km and above.
Therefore I am sure that any powerful people in oil industry will
welcome the technology that makes them unemployed, because this would
increase greatly the overall quality of life. They will get other
powerful jobs or just retire and enjoy some quiet family life (ok,
this would not happen, because they are often power hungry
workaholics).

Of course little people around the oil industry who has no other
expertise than oil engineering or are common share holders might
suffer a minor loss in short term. But on the other hand they do not
have any means to influence to anything.

If too good to be true E-Cat is there for real, it will open up
absolutely huge new economic niche into market as ALL airplanes,
locomotives, ships and trucks must be upgraded immediately, because
oil driven technology is just too expensive to upkeep. This means that
anyone who can produce any components for E-Cat steam engines, can
have everything sold instantly and regardless of the price tag,
because markets will suffer years to come because supply just is
unable to match with demand.

Therefore there is plenty of market potential even for oil companies
and most of them are already moved in direction of general energy
industry as everyone knows that peak oil will come sooner than later.

I mean isn't obvious that if the reaction can be influenced by cooling the 
reactor then a  temperature difference must be contributing to the

IF my memory is  correct, refiners are not huge profit centers and many have
sold to others.  Also environmental regulations have the potential to kill
them.
I am not sure if refiners are welcomed in Italy...or anywhere on the coast
of the
Mediterranean.

So there is a very good chance that refiners may welcome to convert to
cold fusion technology- for the economics of it.
