As a long time proponent, let me say that I do not give a fart whether the Ni-H effect is nuclear or green cheese, as long as it produces far more energy than chemistry with no pollution. It is hard to imagine any issue less important than whether it is nuclear or some sort of Mills effect, or something completely unknown. As long as it works, what difference does it make what it is?

That is a mixed blessing. > No, it's wonderful! We don't want radioactivity. Industrial scale transmutation would be nice, but if energy is all it produces, that's fine. - Jed
