Randy, think about it like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEYcGPF00l0
The companies that are threatening to, any day now (really -- just another year -- trust us -- don't introduce an X-Prize for cold fusion because it is moot or really soon will be) start selling a commercial cold fusion device are not doing so. Obviously, since doing so would make an X-Prize for cold fusion moot, Murphy's Law says that the only way to get them to release a commercial device would be to start serious progress toward an X-Prize for cold fusion. It's sort of like the X-Prize for cold fusion is the buttered bread and the cold fusion product release is the cat. Separately nothing happens. Strap them together and -- breakthrough!
