Cold fusion advocates should put up or shut up. Below I referenced the James Randi Educational Foundation "One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge". Surely after 17 years of research there should now be a way to produce an absolutely bulletproof demonstration of cold fusion for these guys. Or some other experiment showing nuclear effects at chemical energies, the hallmark of CF.
Never mind the technical complications. Every problem can be worked out if you're willing to actually do the work, in consultation with Randi's reps. If you are convinced you can demonstrate cold fusion you can then take a loan on your house for equipment with the certain knowledge that the prize money will cover it all, even after taxes. With a little left over for a vacation to escape the press. Cold fusion needs a hero. Instead of complaining that "Nature" won't consider your paper, take THEIR hero Randi's million bucks! I may hear some excuses on this list. But I'm betting I'll instead hear nothing. -Walter
