There were a couple of scientists, in Utah, several years ago that claimed they had made cold fusion work. That is clean, safe, perpetual, fusion .I don't recall their names but they had the scientific world standing on it's head for sometime until they discovered that it was not completely perfect, i.e., infinitely renewable. My question would be just how long did this run without renewal? After the idea of infinity went away nobody heard anything about these guys. If they had discovered pure cold fusion we could power a whole city in a clean reactor no bigger that a service station, if that big. The pellet to run a car thing........all of it runs forever. Anybody think this won't or can't happen, or for that matter, may already be there???
