As noted, Forbes has published an attack on cold fusion: http://www.forbes.com/sites/markpmills/2011/10/28/the-relentless-pursuit-of-magical-energy/?partner=technology_newsletter
This is by someone named Mark Mills. I believe he's a shill for the coal industry. It is a common name I suppose but someone by that name has published several articles in favor of fossil fuel. This article is filled with ignorant nonsense. The comparison of cold fusion two helicopters is particularly risible. A more apt comparison would be vacuum tubes to transistors. Anyway, this is a sign of progress. There is an aphorism often mis-attributed to Gandhi: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Forbes brings us back to stage 2 or 3, laughing at you or fighting you. - Jed
