Did you read the book Jed?
I read it.
Here's my short Vortex review:
Charles Siefe was the lead reporter for Science during cold fusion's early
days. When Seife wrote this current book, he based it (apparently) on what
he knew and learned about cold fusion in 1989. He does mention the 2004 DoE
review, but everything in Seife's book is as if he's still sleeping - like
a Rip Van Wrinkle who has not yet woken up. His point? Cold fusion doesn't
look like fusion and we know all there is to know about fusion, so it can't
possibly be real; don't look further, don't investigate it further, don't
seek deeper understanding, just throw it in the trash can.
Seife's book appears wholly ignorant of the Beaudette, Storms, Rothwell or
Krivit books.
No need to be angry with Seife.
Pity him.
