COLD FUSION GOES BACK TO SCHOOL AT
THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
CAMBRIDGE, MASS, April 20, 2005 -- The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology will host a daylong colloquium May 21, on the topics of cold
fusion and other clean energy research.THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
"The clean energy colloquium is a timely opportunity for the active but underfunded cold fusion community in the United States to discuss recent progress, perspectives and possible actions," research professor David J. Nagel of The George Washington University said.
The debate on this controversial topic was rekindled by the 2004 Department of Energy cold fusion review (See "News" menu at the NewEnergyTimes.com Web site.) The reviewers remained undecided about cold fusion but encouraged further study in this mysterious new scientific field.
"A healthy skepticism is warranted," says Steven B. Krivit, author of a recent book on cold fusion. "However, the facts show that cold fusion experiments have been demonstrated, reproduced, replicated and published in peer-review journals."
Experimental evidence consistently demonstrates that nuclear-scale energy, in the form of heat, is being generated without harmful radiation, greenhouse gasses or nuclear waste.
With the uncertain future of oil and natural gas supplies, and the undeniable rising cost of oil, the prospect of clean nuclear energy comes at an ideal time.
One of the presenters, Dr. Mitchell Swartz of JET Thermal Products, has developed a working experimental cold fusion reactor. Swartz demonstrated the device at MIT in August 2003 during the 10th International Conference on Cold Fusion.
Program and registration information for the colloquium is available under the "Conferences" menu at the NewEnergyTimes.com Web site.
