My two cents:
As was previously theorized, Rossi may have really been onto something.
Unfortunately, when the reaction occurs, it is difficult to keep stable; it
runs away and needs to be quenched. If you recall, the Defkalion rumors
centered around a nonpayment from Defkalion until Rossi achieved stability.
In an effort to "tame the cat", and "make it safe" he had tried to find a
lower-power stable setup. But, he only really achieved stability when it
WASN'T WORKING. By failing to do proper calorimetry and use proper controls,
he'd fooled himself into thinking it's running smoothly when it isn't running
at all.
If Krivit's sources are correct (it is worth reading the entire NET article),
NASA really sounds quite excited about LENR, and appears to have made great
strides in successful replication. I just wish that they would publish their
results openly.
They successfully saw anomalous heat in 1989, but were afraid to admit it,
until now:
""Tests conducted at NASA Glenn Research Center in 1989 and elsewhere
consistently showed evidence of anomalous heat during loading and unloading
deuterium into bulk palladium. At one time called “cold fusion,” now called
“low-energy nuclear reactions” (LENR), such effects are now published in
peer-reviewed journals and are gaining attention and mainstream respectability.
The instrumentation expertise of NASA GRC is applied to improve the diagnostics
for investigating the anomalous heat in LENR.""

But, Krivit may be onto something. The NASA site I've linked above has the
following soon-to-be-link at the bottom.

LENR looks to really be gaining attention. Andrea Rossi may be lost to
history, if only by his own behavior.
