That was 16 years ago. Nothing has changed.
I do not think it was $60 million. As I recall it was more like $15 million. Nothing changed because Patterson turned down the offer. You have a valid point. If Rossi does not do a proper demonstration and his alliance with a large company falls through, he might be dead in the water. Defkalion might be stalled indefinitely. Others may not be able to replicate the powder. In other words, everything might go wrong. In that case, there will be no public relations breakthrough in 2012, and cold fusion will not become widely known. I doubt things will go that badly, but they sure gone badly in the past, so you never know. Defkalion is behind schedule, as everyone knows. I think they are working to catch up, and in the next quarter they will be able to do the kinds of demonstrations they hoped to do in November. It is not unusual for a project of this nature to be late. The book "Empires of Light" describes the Niagara Falls electrification project of the 1890s. Despite the best efforts of the best engineers, it was a year late. - Jed
