http://snipurl.com/f7okt excerpt: "A couple of years ago, as part of research for my book about scientific mysteries, 13 Things That Don't Make Sense, I visited Fleischmann at his home in the south of England. He told me some of what happened two decades ago. He never wanted to make unlimited free energy, he said: he just wanted to understand more about what goes on in the nucleus of an atom (there are some gaping holes in our nuclear theories). According to Fleischmann, the way his work was over-hyped by the University of Utah's press office took him by surprise. His biggest regret lies in playing along with something he knew to be spectacularly misjudged. Fleischmann is a weary old man, with little hope of redemption. But 100 years from now, he might well be rehabilitated. The claim that nuclear energy could be released in room temperature experiments remains unproven, but a small cadre of reputable researchers have quietly continued the investigation. So far, their results look promising. Progress is slow, however, because it is disreputable research. Today's cold fusion pioneers are, or were, respected scientists, but have been able to get little or no funding. Most have had to pursue cold fusion in their spare time, and some have even lost jobs over their continued interest."
