Jed - these same people who undoubtedly pride themselves on being "free"
from religious dogma, are now enslaved to another dogma: scientific
dogma. Whereas before it was charismatic religious demagogues doing all
the damage to humankind, now it's charismatic science demagogues.
Isn't it amazing that so many people can swallow so much claptrap without a
second though (or perhaps without even a first thought), even when
alternative good solid evidence is staring them in the face. The whole
thing boils down to curiosity; the ability, or more likely, the will, to
question "established" doctrines.
And the mainstream media appear to be so ignorant that they don't even know
where to start. Or... I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but it
could be that there are other forces, not just the media's passive
ignorance, at work to keep LENR at bay... Just thinkin'...

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.

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.
