For those, like Jed, who have watched the unfolding of the BLP/Rossi/Defkalion saga... some of it having gone on now for 20 years or more, it is understandable that many of them express doubt and frustration. Perhaps cynicism is an even better description to use here. Personally, I see incremental

I agree with Jed, I wish we could stop obsessing over what the phrase “Cold Fusion” really means. The truth of the matter is: nobody really knows for sure what kind of phenomenon “Cold Fusion” really represents. Big deal! Get over it! The phrase “Cold Fusion” is nothing more than a place holder.
