http://wattsupwiththat.com, a widely-read website, has a non-sneering article about the Rossi claims.

I think that Cold Fusion technology will totally change the world. I think that NOTHING will be considered "impossible" again.

I've spent some time reading comments on other sites reporting about the Rossi-Focardi demo, and I must say that there might be 1 or 2 negative comments for every 20 to 40 positive ones (and I'm not counting people who frequent this site)... And those few are just plain ignorant of the data. This is a major change from just a year or two ago. I don't think it will be long (2 to 4 weeks max) before we start to see favorable reports from mainstream media. Personally, it's beginning to sink in, and my mind races to consider how the world and life will change... Probably not all good, but then we've been thru many upheavals and we always come out the other side better for it.

However, others have stated that the steam hose was simply routed to the outside. Well, in the image, we see that the door is ajar and open just enough to allow the black hose to exit but maintain privacy in the experiment room. Not real evidence; but, worth mentioning. T

Potential change of this magnitude is likely to be perceived as unsettling news, perhaps even terrifying by many. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, can accurately predict what the eventual outcome will be – how it will affect our daily lives. In religious terms, I don't even think g*d knows what's going'ta happen next. Like in the comic strip "NON SEQUITOR" g*d is probably sitting at his monitor, saying something profound like, "WTF!" See: http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/ Actually I don't believe there will be an "eventual outcome" as history tends to be an infinite continuum of events. Granted, we certainly can speculate. Indeed, we SHOULD speculate. We should try our best to predict the most likely scenarios, and then plan accordingly. But in the end it's the insidious little unknowns we remain oblivious to that will end up doing the most damage. ;-) They'll emerge from obscure little nooks and crannies and bite us in the keester. As for me, I have to confess the fact that there still exists a significant part of my psyche that remains in total denial about the Italian demo. It keeps warning me: "Come on, Steve! You just KNOW that this dog-and-pony show is nothing more than another sophisticated shell game – a con job. Wake up, Man! Don't make a fool of yourself. Don't go about blabbing to all your friends about what an amazingly kewel historical event this is! You just KNOW that you'll end up making a complete and utter fool of yourself... again!" Believe me, I can understand good'ol fashion herd mentality. I can understand why most of the popular American periodicals willing to mention the Italian event have tended to be derisive. It's pure defensiveness – self preservation of the first order. As much as it pains me to say this, it's really not that ridiculous of a "defensive" position to maintain. While the latest weather reports continue to predict increasingly favorable conditions, there is STILL a possibility, however diminishing small those possibilities might be, that a nasty hail storm could suddenly appear over the horizon and smash our house of cards to kingdom come. And then, won't we all have egg on our faces... told you so! It's times like this that I try to once again remind myself of a time-honored suggestion Buddha once offered up to his disciples - of walking the middle of the road, of taking everything in moderation. I still have a lot to learn from Gautama. ... and so, I wait for Monday's news. Special regards, Grasshopper Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks

Personally, I hope that 2012 will usher in a new sun. Not a supernova of Betelgeuse; but, a slow, cold fusion which will render the petrodollar obsolete. May the end of the Mayan calender on the winter solstice be the day that megawatt H-Ni steam engine goes online. T

In which case anyone who sez the ushering in of 2012 won't be terrifying for many are clearly ignorant. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
