We are missing the obvious: Rossi et al have enough investors to scale-up to marketable magnitudes of power, if what they say is true. At the end of the day, the market doesn't really care where you got the electricity that you are selling. People understand electricity. At least in the US, the Laws already require the power companies to purchase privately-produced power. Even if the power companies get around that. He can still make a great deal of money generating and selling power on-site to large consumers, electricity is the biggest expense in producing aluminum.
Once he sells serious amounts of electricity, people will listen, you just can't fake MW of power. I really think he can eventually scale things and automate them to the point where everyone can have their own generator for vehicles and home-use. All he has to do to avoid infringement is to keep the price of the licenses cheaper than the litigation price of stealing it. He can always start cranking up the fees gradually as he becomes more and more financially able to fight infringers with ever deeper pockets. Personally, I was more impressed with the smaller units that lacked the lead; prior to that, I wondered if it was simply an isotope reactor. ScottWm. Scott Smith
