Rossi has brought huge amounts of popularity for the cold fusion (I still do not believe that there is solid evidence for transmutations, expect helium production!), so his role has been irreplaceable, even if he did it for his own hobby and gathered decent money from his surroundings. I would say that it is because of Rossi, Brillouin Energy and BLP have managed to raise some extra money for their quest for clean energy, even if they will not find anything worthy for publishing. This argument against Rossi is however extremely strong, because he has already done 14 trillion dollar damage to the world economy if he is hiding commercially viable product. These are just too big money that anyone could have moral sense to hide them from public. Therefore there is no more for Rossi, what he has already presented. –Jouni
