I have a personal prediction. This year I will be sure about Rossi's or Defkalions motives. If by October 31st no 3rd party comes forward confirming and convincing skeptics about the ownership of a device, I will stop believe them both. 2011/12/31 > Jean Mallove made some predictions some years back and missed the mark by > a wide margin.

Re: [Vo]:Jed and others 2012 predictions please
In 1980, CBS launched a advertising campaign for their hit show "Dallas" featuring the catch phrase "Who Shot JR." The last show of the season was going to reveal the culprit who shot JR. In England, where you can bet on just about anything, officials refused to allow people to bet on the outcome of this because it was not a random event and the outcome was already decided. Someone might read the script, or or one of screenwriters might place a large bet. Along the same lines, long ago I decided not to make predictions or bets on the future of cold fusion, because the script is already written. Events were largely a matter of choice. That is, free will. Rossi and many other researchers are sitting on results that they could reveal if they chose to, which would profoundly change the outcome, and the whole course of human history. On the other side, people in high places at the DoE or the APS choose to remain ignorant of this subject. Like Mary Yugo and Robert Park, they have made a decision to read nothing. Perhaps they want to maintain "plausible deniability." Who knows? The point is, they can type "LENR.org" into a browser anytime. There is nothing stopping them. There are no longer barriers blocking access to information. Fifteen years ago, if you wanted to learn about cold fusion or some other technical subject, you had to go to a university library, or ask experts. You had to make an effort, and spend time and money. The physical reality of getting books and papers and the fact that these papers were only available in university libraries precluded easy access to information. It was easy to see that most people would not make the effort to learn about cold fusion, especially in view of the opposition to it and the nonsense in the mass media. Now, you type a few keystrokes and world of knowledge opens up. It is like the miracle described by Matthew 7:7: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you . . ." Now, the only thing stopping these people is their own mind. I will not try predict people's thoughts. Free will is a complicated subject. It may exist, or it may be an illusion we feel because we inhabit mammalian predator brains. Inhabiting the brain of an honey bee would feel very different, I suppose. Perhaps making a decision or coming up with a new idea is is the result of random processes. At the deepest level, these events may be governed by quantum mechanics, so they are completely random and cannot be predicted even in principle. Whatever the situation is, a decision by Rossi to allow a test, or a decision by the editor at a journal or Washington Post to allow the truth about cold fusion to be published are acts of human will. One decision by any one of hundreds of people could change the situation overnight, like a wind-blown snowball that triggers an avalanche. The situation is unstable and poised for catastrophic change. That does not mean a change is inevitable. Snow that might trigger an avalanche might also melt away peacefully. There is nothing in the known universe as complicated and unpredictable as the human mind. I try to influence people's thoughts & actions but I do not try to predict them. The present and future of cold fusion is entirely governed by free will. In the past cold fusion could not be controlled. We did not know enough about it. It was still an open question as to whether it *could be* made practical. We did not know. Now, the scientific mysteries have been cleared up enough that we can be certain. The effect can be made practical. It can be commercialized. It can prevent global warming and save millions of lives. There is no longer any doubt about that. Whether that will happen or not is entirely a matter of choice. - Jed

I predict that in all likelihood, neither Rossi nor Defkalion will change anything about human history. If they continue behaving like Steorn, they will occasionally, and with increasing rarity, have news releases and perhaps additional inconclusive demonstrations and more unnamed customers and undocumented sales. There will be delays and clever but unconvincing explanations for those delays. It is highly improbable that any university will get a device to test. Aussie Guy will also probably be disappointed. The Xanthi Police Academy will continue to heat its facility by conventional means. Nobody will get a definitive tour of Defkalion's or Rossi's "factories" though poorly documented and inconclusive visits may be possible to "labs" for either outfit. The visitors, if this happens, will not be allowed independent tests. Again, all of this is predicated on a possible similarity to Steorn. > On the other side, people in high places at the DoE or the APS choose to > remain ignorant of this subject.

Actually, I've read more than I ever expected to about Rossi and Defkalion and it was all unfortunately unconvincing. > Perhaps they want to maintain "plausible deniability." Absolute nonsense. If Rossi and Defkalion's stuff is real, everyone will know about it as soon as they allow the first proper independent test results to be released or the instant they make a device available for sale to anyone who can test it, show it and talk about it. It's really that simple. And it could have happened any time since Rossi started equivocating, deceiving and misdirecting a year ago.

Re: [Vo]:Jed and others 2012 predictions please
I predict that the world will formally acknowledge cold fusion aka LENR this year. The evidence will finally be so overwhelming that the physics community can no longer deny it. Of course they will claim that they knew it was happening, but only in the form of LENR and not cold fusion which they have claimed. Mary Yugo will repent of her sins after a long pause and will become one of the best proponents of cold fusion filling all of the forums with glowing reports. Rossi will hire her as his spokeswoman since she can work like the energizer bunny on a cause that is true to her heart. (life is stranger than fiction) Krivit will realize that he was duped by Rossi in June. He was a pawn in Rossi's chess game as he attempted to mislead the competition to gain market share. Steven will become totally angry with Rossi as a result and will refuse to go to Italy to apologize in person at Rossi's expense. Jed will continue to inform the world about the wonders of cold fusion as he has until now. The job will become a lot easier as people will start to believe what he has to say since the process is proven. Science will continue to search for the theory of cold fusion for another 10 years at least. Eventually the cause will be determined, but it will not be easy to prove. Copies of cold fusion devices will become ubiquitous and the selling prices will become much more competitive. The oil producers will make an all out attempt to stop the universal usage of cold fusion devices by claims of danger and radiation. The lobbies will form and be well funded. Science labs will be established to research cold fusion processes and many additional materials will be found that exhibit the effects.

Don't go to fast. In 1995 I came back, from Power Gen 95, to my Utility Employer and wrote and impact statement about Clean Energy Technologies device. It was reported, "We have liftoff".

I think it will more likely be the greens, climate activists, anti-technology / anti-progress groups, and more in general those who are politically motivated against "nuclear" energy who will attempt stopping this technology, leveraging on hypothetical dangers for human health and the environment. Oil producers will use it to their benefit (cheaper oil extraction) while slowly phasing out from the fuel sector and at the same time focusing more on other sectors (lubricants/chemical/etc.). Some might even start new businesses in LENR (as they currently do on nuclear energy and photovoltaics, for example). This will allow them to survive longer in the post-peak oil era. Just my 2 cents, S.A.

I do not think it was $60 million. As I recall it was more like $15 million. Nothing changed because Patterson turned down the offer. You have a valid point. If Rossi does not do a proper demonstration and his alliance with a large company falls through, he might be dead in the water. Defkalion might be stalled indefinitely. Others may not be able to replicate the powder. In other words, everything might go wrong. In that case, there will be no public relations breakthrough in 2012, and cold fusion will not become widely known. I doubt things will go that badly, but they sure gone badly in the past, so you never know. Defkalion is behind schedule, as everyone knows. I think they are working to catch up, and in the next quarter they will be able to do the kinds of demonstrations they hoped to do in November. It is not unusual for a project of this nature to be late. The book "Empires of Light" describes the Niagara Falls electrification project of the 1890s. Despite the best efforts of the best engineers, it was a year late. - Jed

Steven will become totally angry with Rossi as > a result and will refuse to go to Italy to apologize in person at > Rossi's expense. I perceive Krivit's actions as more like that of a cat with nine lives. IOW, Krivit and NET will somehow survive the Rossi embarrassment. I don't know how he will manage to accomplish this, but I predict he will. He will then continue his relentless fight against other injustices in the world. Krivit once told me that after the "cold fusion" controversy was resolved, he might consider investigating the injustices inherited in the current health-care system. Its possible Krivit might do a world of good investigating that can-o-worms. I suspect Krivit's talents fare best when coming to the aid of all the Dulcineas in the world. Krivit will eventually find other windmills to slay. He may even become famous. > Jed will continue to inform the world about the wonders of cold fusion > as he has until now.

I believe Jed has already been on record saying he would be more than happy to pass the torch to someone else, once he was assured of the fact that the avalanche was well on its way down the mountain top. I think Jed dreams of taking a long vacation. However, I also suspect Jed would soon become bored and would soon find another worthy cause to take up. IOW, we should continue to keep an eye on any future endeavors Jed might feel inclined to pursue. > Science will continue to search for the theory of cold fusion for > another 10 years at least. Eventually, the cause will be determined, > but it will not be easy to prove. Agreed. However, I think it will take far more than 10 years. Perhaps 20 - 30 years, and then... maybe we will understand the true potential power of the monster we are only now in the process of unearthing from the crypt. Hopefully our children and grandchildren will be wise enough to realize what we are in possession of. Hopefully, prudent efforts will be undertaken to assure that we don't blow up the planet in all the ensuing enthusiasm to unleash more "free" energy.

The cost of fossil fuels will continue a relentless decline. Eventually, technological innovation will allow the cost of manufacturing synthetic petroleum products to undercut to cost involved in extracting fossil fuels. At that point, the fossil fuel industry will pass into the history books. > Science labs will be established to research cold fusion processes and > many additional materials will be found that exhibit the effects.

Re: [Vo]:Jed and others 2012 predictions please
I support more or less your predictions. many (not all) Green will try to oppose LENR because it is agains their agenda. it is breaking their plot to make a better world by reducing comfort, energy, consumption, sins, and corruption of the nature. it is breaking their agenda to use climate fear to reduce energy use. It make the fight against Nuke use less, killing thus one of their marketing department. it will also be opposed by all the rats that use those green ideas to make crony business with unjustified subsidies, manipulated markets, inefficients solutions, manipulated consumers. indirectly it will be opposed by all green lobby on false medicine, false fear , because this big success of science and failure of fearful consensus pseudo-science will move the mind of (the occidental rich) population to love science again, instead of fearing it today. (note that in non occidental countries, green are not that dangerous) the oil companies won't be the worst opponents because they have time to adapt (oil is a today's energy, unlike wind and sun, and even 3G+ nuke and clean coal). oil corrupted countries however will panic, but it will save their population from corruption, after a bloody revolution period. despite visible opposition, all business, including losers like oil and nuke, will embrace LENR, trying to establish a network of pattents and regulation to privatize it. anyway LENR is so simple to copy and build that it will spread in poor countries without regulation, like digital CD copy. it will be easy to use it to resolve real problems like desalinization, home energy, because units can be small unlike nuclear energy. by the way hydrogen technology will get much more common, cheap and simple. in europe/Canada and a little in US, LENR will be slowed temporarily by green if Defkalion and other serious competitors are not quick enough to sell their unit to individuals before the lobbies block them... however if the units are sold to individual it will be hard to over-regulate them, because the population won't believe (by interest and observation) the fear-monger. the government will anyway discretely, despite the lobbies, try to use LENR to reduce deficit and poverty. also cash flow for green will be reduced with the end of climate fear and globally technology fear... green fatigue that is happening today will accelerate that anticlerical transition movement. media green brainwashing will slow. slowly the politicians will follow the population, and break with the dying lobbies... slowly we will hear the truth about climate, whatever it is, with a dying IPCC, unlocking the freedom of speech, and a questioning becoming without any strategic importance nor motivated lobby... and by the way, as usual, media and science will never admit nor be accused of bad behavior on LENR. it will became normal science like aerodynamic... 2012/1/1 Akira Shirakawa > On 2012-01-01 19:03, David Roberson wrote: > > The oil producers will make an all out attempt to stop the universal >> usage of cold fusion devices by claims of danger and radiation. >> > > I think it will more likely be the greens, climate activists, > anti-technology / anti-progress groups, and more in general those who are > politically motivated against "nuclear" energy who will attempt stopping > this technology, leveraging on hypothetical dangers for human health and > the environment. > > Oil producers will use it to their benefit (cheaper oil extraction) while > slowly phasing out from the fuel sector and at the same time focusing more > on other sectors (lubricants/chemical/etc.).

Greens are used to being traduced like this. The mainstream green movement does not yet acknowledge the reality of LENR because we have been approached by an endless stream of people claiming magic 100mpg carburettors, magic magnet motors, overunity hydrogen generators, MEGs etc etc etc over many decades. In short, all magic solutions so far have been lies and bullshit so, until conclusively demonstrated and accepted, we're not going to change any priorities yet. I can assure you that around 15 years ago, a motion was taken to the Friends of the Earth Conference: "This Conference notes the recent proliferation of reliable scientific evidence for the reality of "Cold Fusion" energy and many other similar devices. As they herald the rapid end of both the nuclear and fossil fuelled industries, and hold out the prospect of cheap, abundant, pollution free energy, free from the control of individual nations or large corporations, they will obviously have a dramatic effect on most of our campaigning. This Conference calls upon the Board of Friends of the Earth to investigate the scientific reports, satisfy themselves as to the validity and potential of the new energy sources and then to rewrite our basic campaign strategies to take the coming revolution in energy supply into account and, further, to actively promote the new devices as a solution to global warming and pollution. When these devices become mainstream we will be fully prepared to "hit the ground running"." Unfortunately, back then, the evidence was by no means clear cut and, although there was plenty of interest (and some excitement) in the concept, the view was that the best thing to do was to wait it out. Decentralisation of energy supply and the cost and energy effective conservation and recycling of materials is an incredibly deep aspect of green thought, all of which would be achievable with LENR devices. In 1996 I wrote an article for Infinite Energy (click for link) that speculated that, although there could be some novel problems if everyone had as much energy as they desired, that overall the environemental effect of LENR would be beneficial as it would enable the Green movement to concentrate more on habitat and biodiversity protection and all the other stuff apart from climate change and peak oil.

Re: [Vo]:Jed and others 2012 predictions please
You cannot imagine how green I am in fact(because of the 70s and 1974 energy saving campaign in Europe). but these days things are getting crazy, and the green that you depict are no more influent. visible greens are no more like what you say. it has became an apocalyptic sect, highly competent in influencing media . on many domains, they are just behaving like propagandizing priest, irrational frighteners, pathologic liars, manipulating humans feeling, using media... when you know the environmental problems, the technology, it is frightening to see how thing evolves and lies spread quickly with media support... they terrorize and racket scientist and business... who submit and adapt to survive... (same reason LENR get buried for 20 years). maybe is there a need for irrationality, dogma, guiltiness, absolutism, and since we have tamed the religions, something else have to take the business. maybe things are different for you in your country, and your green are better, but in France things are getting rough for the truth. it is frightening to see the propaganda spreading in my near, and it is hard to explain the facts... I see the parallel with the way some other countries evolve about another green religion. anyway that is not the problem here. we will just see how things will evolve soon. hope the rational greens win. my experience is that first the extremist will win with the help of the crony elite, then be guillotined by the moderates, on demand of the crowd demanding more comfort... 2012/1/2 Nick Palmer > You don't know what you are talking about.
