Since LENR-CANR began in October 2002, readers have visited
approximately 832,000 times, and they have downloaded just over
500,000 papers, as of this week. This year so far, downloads are
running at 4,400 papers per week. For the last 3 months of 2005, the
rate was 3,700 per week.
Our monthly bandwidth limit is 25 GB:

As of this morning we used 23.6 GB, or 0.8 GB/day, so I purchased an
extra 1 GB for $5. That should be enough for this month.
The good news is that somebody, somewhere is reading a lot of papers
about cold fusion. The bad news is that this does not appear to be
having any effect on public opinion or government policy, although I
suppose you never know what could be happening behind the scenes. The
Scientific American, Time Magazine, and the Washington Post still
assert that cold fusion is a "misdeed" compounded of error, ambition,
haste and fraud, and they still refuse to publish one word defending
the work by the researchers themselves. Time magazine recently
featured global warming. It said that global warming does exist, and
that you should "be worried, be very worried." It says technological
solutions must be found, but it did not mention cold fusion.
