government until it can be explained by an accepted and demonstrated
theory, and until a material can be made by anyone to cause the
effect. Neither condition exists and I see no ability of people in the
field to achieve these requirements anytime soon.

drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable
energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult."
As much as I support alternative energy, it galls me when I hear
Obama say that. I just wish there was some way we could bring cold
fusion to his attention. If we could have 0.01% of plasma fusion
funding it would do wonders. Alas we are drowned out by the noise
from others, and by the skeptics.
Energy was a large part of his Recovery and Reinvestment act. This
article is somewhat political but it describes this:
