Re: [Vo]: Cold fusion back on the menu (ACS) 2007 conference

[Edmund Storms]

I suggest Park has simply reiterated his belief that the Jones claims 
are real but not what Pons and Fleischmann discovered. This has been the 
attitude of the skeptics from the very beginning. In short, I see no 
change.  I wrote to both Park and Garwin, describing by book and asking 
if they would like to review a preprint.  I have received no reply. If a 
change in attitude were real, I would expect they would want to know 
what has been discovered in 18 years. A change in attitude is taking 
place at other levels and I suggest no credit be given to the 
traditional skeptics.

The Chemistry World magazine article that DonW posted here has a 
surprising statement:

"Bob Park, at the University of Maryland . . . concedes that 'there are 
some curious reports - not cold fusion, but people may be seeing some 
unexpected low-energy nuclear reactions'."

Coming from him, that is an astounding admission. I do not recall ever 
seeing Park betray even a hint of a positive attitude toward CF.
