Here is part of a long article by S. O. Dean:
Dean, S.O., Fusion News: 2004. J. Fusion Energy, 2004. 23(3): p. 137.
This is from p. 161. The author quotes someone else, Peter Golden.
This is noteworthy because the same issue of the journal has a long
article supporting cold fusion, Li, X.Z., et al., A Chinese View on
Summary of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science. J. Fusion Energy, 2004.
23(3): p. 217-221.
This is pretty weird. I still haven't seen the Dean article, I'd
thought it was a relatively brief note or editorial. That the Golden
column is quoted as extensively as you report makes it seem that the
Dean article is a rant, odd in a peer-reviewed journal, don't you
think? I mean, when you are reduced to quoting an inconsequential
column in a local newspaper, isn't that getting pretty desperate?
(quote of Golden column deleted. Peter Golden:
http://www.petergolden.com/ Golden does not show any strong interest
in science.)
