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. T

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... -Original Message- From: Jed Rothwell >> Was Chu at the conference on the weekend? > No Then this article is silly. - Jed

Yeah the commentors here agree: http://coldfusionnow.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/energy-secretary-chu-looking-at-lanrcf/#comments Sorry, I should have dug a little deeper before posting this.

Re: [Vo]:Steven Chu looks at LANR/CF
That's big news for the fiel of LANR/LENR/Cold Fusion. Another sign that it is getting closer to the mainstream.
