Wow Ed .... I don't think I've ever heard such optimism from you. It is
certainly welcome!

Quite the opposite, Jed. The field is moving forward on several
fronts. The field has now changed in two important ways. People who
have had some success are now exploring parameter space to improve the
effect. This work is not being published because it has patent potential.
In contrast, the effect is so hard to produce that most people have little
to talk about, so they fill a meeting with "theory". The evidence has now
reached a critical mass so people who do not have an ego to protect
realize an important reality has been discovered. Consequently, money is
stating to flow into the field. As successful work is replicated and as a
few of the methods reach large energy production rates, even the skeptics
will be silenced and politicians will risk supporting the field. The
problem now is only psychological. This is the time when people having
courage and an open mind start down the road to fame and riches.
