That's why I copied the paragraph; to show that it is Rossi who said it. > Some time back Rossi also said, as far as I remember, that agreements were > made with the Bologna University to test his reactor and perform related > research.

So, even though Rossi does tend to jump the gun and say all kinds of things, much of what he said in the past eventually came true. Or I guess I should say it panned out. I listened to him for a year thinking he was a blowhard who would accomplish what he claimed. Then in January, boom! -- out of nowhere, he did those spectacular demonstrations. I have learned not to underestimate him. > I would really prefer to read directly from the interested parties about > their involvement, and not only from A.Rossi. > So would I. I would prefer that even if Rossi had no history of making, shall we say, inconsistent comments. It is always better to have third party confirmation. Fortunately, I have heard that the reports in the Greek press are coming from people in Greece. One of the reporters told me that. Some of the reports from Greece are spectacular. In a way they are as amazing as the 18-hour demonstration. The Greek "Investor's World" newspaper says they have 200 million euros lined up for the factory in Greece. See: http://www.xanthipress.gr/eidiseis/politiki/6874-xynidis-ependysi-hyperion-xanthi-ydrogono-nikelio-paragogi-energeias-ergostasio-xanthi.html That's a lot of money! That is probably more than the entire amount invested in cold fusion since 1989. I do not think that information came from Rossi, or from Rossi alone. I think the Greek reporters spoke with people at Defkalion Green Energy. I think 200 million euros is as amazing as 1000 MJ of heat because, as I said before, Rossi's experiment has plenty of precedent. It did not come out of nowhere. - Jed
