All anyone got to see was pipes and valves and insulation covered boxes. There was nothing dazzling there. Even the steam was hidden, and the heat was released to the sky *behind* barriers. Without the claimed measurements from Rossi, there was no evidence of heat production at all. He could have at least used the heat to do something like heat the water in a big tanker truck, or expand big cylinder to lift a huge weight. But there was absolutely nothing visual at all. Nothing even remotely dazzling. > The skeptics among us have conveniently disregarded the results of this > test for their reasons. > No they haven't. The results have been regarded carefully.

If the claims were valid, it would be like the industrial revolution, and the standard of living would improve for everyone. People working in competing industries would not have difficulty finding jobs in the cold fusion support industry. In fact conversion to cold fusion would produce a lot of work for a lot of people. > I think it is a moral issue to give support to people like Rossi who can > really make a large positive impact upon the world. > So it is religious with you. So, by "people like Rossi" do you mean anyone who makes free-energy claims without evidence? Or only Italians with a record? If Rossi is wrong, all the support in the world won't help him. And if he's right, pontificating skeptics on the interweb won't hurt him, and he won't need support from the pions; he just needs one good demo.
