This appeared to me to be really stunning! An official recognition of the possibility of the reality of CF! However, I see the authors include Mosier-Boss, McKubre, and Forsley. If the paper disappears we won't know if it is due to security concerns or action by pathological debunkers.

Who's Hot in Cold Fusion? The countries with the most advanced LENR programs are Japan, Italy, and Israel. In addition, Russia, France, China, South Korea, and India are spending significant resources on LENR research. The following are among the most notable efforts: - In Japan, Iwamura at

Jed, then you've got some extremely liberal definition of 'insider'! My definition of an insider is one who has at least done some experimental/theoretical research on the subject; LENR in this case. Robert Duncan is an expert in calorimetry, but he most definitely is NOT and insider!!!
