First, almost nobody is "opposed to cold fusion". Why in the world would anyone be "opposed" to a plentiful source of new, clean energy? Would people be opposed to hot fusion if it could be shown to economically feasible and safe? Would they be open to a new process to better extract energy from sunlight? Would they be opposed to a new find of huge amounts of natural gas? The idea that cold fusion isn't accepted because of some vague but highly evil conspiracy to oppose it is purely ridiculous. If Rossi or Defkalion's claims are real, which is looking less and likely with every day that passes, then no "government regulator opposed to cold fusion" could stop them. What would they say to a dozen clean and clear tests proving that those robust claims are valid? What could anyone possibly say if several prestigious test labs and universities verified those claims? What could they say when millions of machines poured out of Chinese, Indian, Mexican, or other country's factories? The conspiracy theory of why cold fusion isn't a proven and useful technology is crazy.
