The original comment was not made clear enough, it seems - and it was not intended as criticism for Rossi. Greed is a perfectly acceptable motivation for an inventor. No problem there.
However, the situation is far different when you are from top management of the Department of Energy, and have used taxpayer money and inside political connections for gain. This can happen in bid-free contracts and in many other ways involving lack of full disclosure. 'Greed' only works well for society, as a motivator, when there is a level playing field. In the case of inside connections, just as in the recent conviction of Rajaratnam for Wall Street cheating - greed tends to merge far closer to fraud than when it is motivation for a poor inventor in the private sector. I hope they throw the book at him and the other pigs responsible for the recent financial collapse.

The question is: why does he want us to believe something else? He said several time, that he did not receive money so far, that he financed everything himself and that he wants to wait until November, let's say until a real commercial success in late 2011. He repeated it for the last time on April 18, after his agreement with Ampenergo. --
