Nearly all of the experts who have looked carefully at cold fusion have concluded that it is real. Dieter Britz is the only one I know who is not convinced. The scientists who claim it is not real know nothing about the research. They have not read the literature. They are not experts; they are ignorant fools. You can see this in the negative comments of the 2004 DoE panel, which are preposterous: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/DOEusdepartme.pdf > I know you and I have different opinion about what large organization are > good and bad about. > Nearly every major mainstream organization that performed serious experiments in cold fusion produced positive results by 1990. Over 180 organizations have replicated, and every one of them is at a university, national laboratory or corporation. Not a single researcher outside of the mainstream has ever replicated cold fusion as far as I know, except possibly Rossi. See the list here: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/WillFGgroupsrepo.pdf There were a few places such as Kamiokande that got negative results, because they made many mistakes and there were no electrochemists in their group. Without electrochemists they could never succeed. They were bumbling amateurs *outside the electrochemical establishment*. See: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJlessonsfro.pdf Imagine what would happen if electrochemists tried to build a Tokamak reactor. They would fail as badly as this. - Jed
