It *suggests* that Steven Chu was at the MIT meeting. But it clearly
*states* that he is looking at Cold Fusion. Anyone has a link
supporting the last claim?

Thanks!

Well, Bastian, you were there, right? Chu was not, right?

The report does state that Chu is looking at cold fusion, but it does 
not inform us how the reporter knows this. As such, it's poorly 
written. If the reporter knows this, but cannot give the source, then 
a reporter would normally so state.


"According to confidential sources, Steven Chu is looking at cold fusion."

Or whatever she could say. She was at the Colloquium, I believe 
that's the woman who was introduced as a reporter. She did not 
disclose anything to the group about Chu, but she may have done so privately.


Really, you'd have to ask her!

(Unless someone else has seen something from Chu. It would not be 
surprising if he's looking at LENR, after all, didn't the DoE twice 
recommend more research in this field, but what this means isn't clear.)

DoE has to be aware that NASA Langley Research Center is planning an
experiment along these lines, I would think.

Above silly, but below accurate.

This was told to me but it is third hand: The journalist was present because
she has a contact on the Director's staff who told her that DoE would be
taking a closer look at the field ... not that Chu thought it was real...

Richard Garwin is one of Chu's advisors.  I seriously doubt that
Garwin has become an advocate of cold fusion of late.

Tina provides no evidence that Chu even knows what LANRs are.  There
are no citations in the article.

Astounding if that's what it means.

That's big news for the fiel of LANR/LENR/Cold Fusion.  Another sign that it
is getting closer to the mainstream.
