From Josephson:

...

 It appears that the UK Department of Energy and
 Climate Change (DECC), unlike its US counterpart,
 has an open mind regarding your reactor, ...

Priceless! That made me laugh.

This is just my opinion, and my opinion might be wrong but I suspect
Rossi will decline Josephson's invitation - for the simple reason that
Rossi does not trust the scientific establishment. I suspect he fears
they would either attempt to falsify his work, or screw up the results
so bad that it would make him and his work look like a scam operation.

Alas, it would be nice if Rossi would follow up on Josephson's invitation.

Well, the skepticism towards Rossi will be much worse if he refuses
Josephson's invitation. This guy is completely off mainstream and not
taking his word is really, really bad for his business...

IMO, if Rossi feels he has successfully pocketed a few select
corporations who believe in his technology he would give a fart about
trying to appease the scientific establishment. In fact it's possible
that trying to appease them would be counterproductive in the sense
that it would draw too much attention to his operations. At this
delicate stage of the game Rossi knows he is exceedingly vulnerable
since I gather he doesn't have adequate patent protection. Best to let
the rest of the world believe he's a scam artist. Doesn't matter to
Rossi, as long as a select few (who have performed due diligence)
think otherwise.

He never did a fart about that. If he has customers, all the more reason to
ignore scientists.

I agree. My guess is, that is what he is thinking.

I am glad Josephson did this but unfortunately I expect Rossi will decline
the offer. He says he does not want to do tests, and he means it.

Defkalion, on the other hand, said that by the end of this month:

A full specs sheet as well as product's basic design and their scheduled
third party testing will be released as per our announcement of November
14th.

Let us hope they mean that. They announced similar plans earlier. Evidently
the schedule slipped. That is not surprising, given the difficulty of
developing this product and the commotion with Rossi.

They originally announced they would publish the Energy Ministry documents
about their reactor in mid-summer, in July as I recall. They did not meet
that deadline and never explained why. Either they did not meet the
deadline, or the Ministry did not.

Things are chaotic in Greece these days. Perhaps that is part of the
problem.

Dear Ivan:
We are no more in the mode of public tests, the times of public tests are over. 
We are manufacturing plants for our Customers, and our Customers will test the 
plants they have bought.
The proposal of Celani is just a provocation, and an insult to all the people 
that already made tests.
We are working for our Customers, not for the curiosity of our competitors.
By the way: Celani is using since decades the money of the taxpayer to make his 
apparatuses: he should employ his time to make worth the public money he is 
using, instead of going to try to “test” the work of others.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

That is a ridiculous, tangential, and totally inappropriate defensive
response.  Why would Rossi consider a reasonable proposal to conduct an
independent test a provocation and an insult?  Unless of course, his
device would not pass the test?

Yup, that's what he told me when I said I would bring my own 
instruments. It would insult Levi et al.


He drives me crazy.

Still, he appears to be selling. He hired SI. He has done a lot of 
things right. If he succeeds, people will say this business strategy was 
the stuff of genius. In the future, they will teach his methods at the

Oops!

 

I forgot the course description! Let me try again:

 

Rossi Business Strategies - Business #671, Semesters (1  2), 4 Credits Each

 

How to succeed in business by faking out the competition with disinformation 
designed to make your own business appear to be a massive scam operation as 
perceived by your competitors. This two-semester course studies the Rossi 
Phenomenon which ultimately introduced a major commercial paradigm shift in 
global energy distribution networks in the early 21st century. We will focus on 
why Rossi continues to be fiercely debated within business schools. Did Rossi 
consciously manipulate his own disinformation campaign, a strategy that 
appeared to have skillfully faked out the global fossil industry for more than 
a decade, and as such, helped secure him a crucial foothold in developing a 
brand new energy market consisting of asynchronous distribution networks, as 
several historians have claimed. Or was Rossi's success due to nothing more 
than a random throw of the dice, a rare collection of eccentricities that 
ultimately produced the first trillionaire known to the world.

EXACTLY. That's hilarious. But seriously, many large changes in history do
start off as small, random events and the right people being in the right
place at the right time. Jobs might well have ended up a maladjusted
failure if he had not met Wozniak. Wilbur Wright might have become
a conscientious but long forgotten teacher in an Ohio town if he had not
been bashed in face with a hockey puck in 1885, and nearly killed. During
his two-year recovery he gave up all hope of a college education and going
out into the wider world, and instead stuck around Dayton with his younger
brother, manufacturing bicycles.

Sometimes people are in the wrong place at the wrong time, such as Archduke
Franz Ferdinand of Austria on June 28, 1914. I suppose there would have
been a war sooner or later, but perhaps not. You cannot run history over
again to find out. Perhaps war might have erupted some years later, and
with different weapons it might have ended more quickly with an allied
victory, instead of 9 million people slaughtered.

Right!

And if you suppose that's unthinkable, look at some of the ads around you,
and try to imagine what they would have provoked in the 1930s or 1950s. The
Benetton ad of the Pope kissing an Imam went a little too far, but there
are any number of others like it that would faze nobody today, not to
mention bumper stickers such as it's okay to be gay.
