Here is an uninformative report on the conference: http://www.opednews.com/articles/2/Cold-Fusion-is-Real-by-Josh-Mitteldorf-120704-254.html
I would say more about the conference but I figure the proceedings will soon be available so it is better to let the authors speak for themselves. If the proceedings are delayed I will ask the people at W&M to send me the PowerPoint slides. They collected them on the chairman's computer. I will upload them or send them to interested parties. Papers are better than slides so let's wait. There was a lot of talk about potential commercialization including a discussion by a guy from Switzerland, Nicolas Chauvin, about making cold fusion powered cars. That may seem premature but Chauvin is a smart cookie doing a lot of preliminary groundwork in automotive transportation with cold fusion heat engines that might be well worthwhile. - Jed
