Hi All, 12-1-08
What are your thoughts on The Quantum Fusion Hypothesis

The article is not online, where all I could find is the

That sure is a hell of a lot of money and time to do
calorimetry. Either the effect is extremely small,
or the apparatus to produce it is extremely complex,
or there may be some misrepresentation going on
(to put it very politely).

The UK has the best wind sites in Europe, but can they afford it?

Its looking more and more like only the big breakthrough in alternative
energy can deliver us from a return to more nuclear
Quoting the article:
Oswald's report highlights the key issue of load factor, the actual
power generated compared to the theoretical maximum, and how critical
it is to the viability of the wind power industry. In 2006, according
to U.K. government statistics, the average load factor for wind

Many other technical points in this article are either bogus, or common
knowledge that has been taken into account.

The worst performing U.K. turbine had a load factor of just 7 percent. These
figures reflect a poor return on investment.
JR: This makes no sense Everyone knows that actual power generated is
less than nameplate capacity.
Yes, of
Jed,
Didn't you say yourself that the future of profits in the energy
sector will mainly derive from the hardware and peripheral side
of the business and not from the sale of energy?

Yes, of course they do, but the devil is in the details - and one
point of the article is that the performance seems to have been
badly miscalculated by the experts.
Let me state up front that (old wind-bag or not) I am not in any way anti
wind energy, nor an advocate for nuclear. Actually I would like to be more
pro-wind, but the numbers keep getting in the way.
IOW, I am a strong advocate for trying to get a true picture of the comparative
cost
