Re: Joel Barker
Joel Barker is a motivational speaker that has both the ability to capture the attention of an audience and provoke a response to the subliminal dynamic nudge that lurks withinevery creative person. His mention of CF should be no surprise. The promise held forth by the magnitude of the uses for cold forms of new energy has a magnetic quality transcendingwhat is possible. There is no Camelot.. but if there were??? mention the concept to a fertile mind and who can stop a dream. Joel Barker has no difficulty accepting cold fusion because he is a " futurist" and " visionary".A "dream maker". One should recognize a kindred spirit . Richard

RC Macaulay writes: Joel Barker has no difficulty accepting cold fusion because he is a futurist and visionary. A dream maker. One should recognize a kindred spirit . Well, I hope he really is a futurist and not a blowhard. As I see it, if he responds, that makes him a kindred spirit, but if he does not, he is no futurist in my book. At this point, LENR-CANR is the gold standard for CF information. Anyone seriously interested in the subject will read it. Not because of me, but because hundreds of authors have contributed papers. We have over 400 papers on file. It is like having a shelf full of conference proceedings available in an instant anywhere on earth. (The Internet is astounding, isn't it? We are the last generation to appreciate it, and not take it for granted.) Perhaps if we had had that back in 1990, the debate would not have gone astray. I am now so confident CF is real, I regard it as a litmus test. How can you tell a real scientist from a dodo with a PhD? Show him the experimental data. Show him a couple dozen good papers. If he agrees CF is real he is a sheep and if he doesn't he's a goat. - Jed

I have never heard of Barker, or the SIMposium (Boston I know about), but anyway, I looked him up and sent him a friendly message. It looks like Joe Barker is just using cold fusion (the energy technology) in the abstract during his presentation. He holds it out there as an example of a technology that could be a cure-all for future problems. He's certainly not promoting cold fusion or talking about the science behind it. It is interesting that he uses cold fusion as an example of a technology that could have a major impact on society to solve problems. A good indication of how people perceive cold fusion. It is funny how cold fusion pops up in the oddest places. It's definitely part of our culture in an obscure way.
Re: Joel Barker
Now I looked at the site which gives me a different impression. I had thought you meant he was promoting it commercially, or at least promoting it. I retract my earlier comment. I think he's just a futurist, like the rest of us, open to new ideas, and helping us get to tomorrow. Or helping us see to it that there is a tomorrow. s At 02:05 PM 9/14/2005, you wrote: Google Alerts tells me that someone named Joe Barker has been promoting cold fusion power -- presumably our CF, not the programming language, and that he made statements about it at the recent SIMposium 2005 program in Boston.
