>From time to time, Google Alerts brings me a positive statement about cold fusion. I sometimes respond to the author. An example is below.
I seldom respond to attacks or misrepresentations. Overall, Google Alerts for cold fusion and other indicators have dropped off.

I was pleased to see you mention the work of Robert Huggins here: https://www.stanforddaily.com/2018/04/19/april-19-on-this-da y-in-stanford-history/ He and his grad students Gur and Schreiber published 10 papers about cold fusion, including some in peer reviewed journals. Here is one from a conference proceedings: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/SchreiberMrecentmeas.pdf Cold fusion was ultimately replicated by hundreds of scientists at over 180 major laboratories such as Stanford, China Lake, Los Alamos and BARC. Hundreds of peer-reviewed papers were published describing these results, along with ~50 papers describing failed experiments. You will find 4,438 papers on this subject here: http://lenr-canr.org/ Unfortunately there was -- and remains -- tremendous opposition to the research because of academic politics. The mass media, Nature, Scientific American and others claimed that the effect was never replicated. The reputations of the scientists who replicated or worked in this field were trashed. Nobel Laureate Julian Schwinger was one of them. He wrote: "The pressure for conformity is enormous. I have experienced it in editors’ rejection of submitted papers, based on venomous criticism of anonymous referees. The replacement of impartial reviewing by censorship will be the death of science." http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/SchwingerJcoldfusiona.pdf It is a tragedy. - Jed
