I wonder why we are worried for a strong opposition to Ni-H LENR as a form of cold fusion...not the scientists will decide The initial problem of cold fusion is one well known to the players of 'contract bridge' game- bidding too high, promise of cheap, inexhaustible rich source of energy. But even after 20 years Pd-D LENR/CF is science, very interesting science with many areas and ramifications and open ways of research but definitely nothing good for Technology (yet), A bad question is -will it ever be?
The Battle is now about the acceptance and implementation of the Rossi E-cat on the energy market, especially the US market. Can we consider the disastruous PR of Cold Fusion so strong that the E cat will be a collateral victim? Let's look to the elementary conditions for an energy source, old or new to stay on the market: It must be sufficiently INTENSE to be *useful*, It must be sufficiently REPRODUCIBLE and CONTROLLABLE to be *reliable,* * * It must be sufficiently CONTINUOUS (i.e. long lasting) to be *practical* * * It must be sufficiently SAFE and CLEAN to be *harmless* * * It must be sufficiently easily UPSCALABLE to be *extended* and *diversified, * It must be sufficiently CHEAP to be *competitive* It must be sufficiently VALUABLE to be. or to be easily convertible in, electrical energy (it is usual to speak about "high currency" and "low currency" energy. These are ideal conditions and all the energy sources that had been, are, or will be used fulfill these requirements- more or less. Let's analyse thoroughly the Rossi generator, does it possess an irresistible combinations of the above characteristics- so it could conquer the markets? Which are its weak points, can they be they cured or eliminated by development? Is it necessary or possible to elaborate an even better variant of Ni-H LENR? PIantelli is doing this, why other skilled people do not try? Or...? Can somebody of you, friends, ask smarter questions? Peter PS just for fun, Google Translate- Italian to English (Stremmenos interview) has translated "Pd" as "Democratic Party" - it's true it was very late when this has happened and after long hours- the machine could be very tired.
