Re: [Vo]:Fusion confusion

[Horace Heffner]

It strikes me as a good thing to have debate of public interest  
regarding the causes of cold fusion and heavy element low energy  
nuclear reactions.  Better to argue about why it happens than if it  
happens.  However, it is also clearly useful to assume the integrity  
of the scientists involved and focus the debate on the facts and  
theories. Given the current rancor over issues as comparatively  
simple as the categorical imperative of universal health care,  
perhaps it is too much to hope debate over LENR can avoid such  
degeneration into personal attacks, bad feelings, and the inability  
to cooperate for the common good.

Best regards,
Horace Heffner
