The Honorable Senator Obama,
In view of your interest in developing new, nonpolluting energy
sources, the undersigned would like to call your attention to a source
that has been largely ignored, but has huge potential.
I think we need to say right up front that we are talking about "cold
fusion, the Fleischmann-Pons effect." The reader will discover that
after he clicks on the link, and he may be miffed, sensing that we
have been holding back and not telling him. He may feel we are
playing games and he will lose interest.
Plus I think we need to include some of the technical details I
listed, such as the fact that it has produced 10,000 times more
energy than a chemical reaction, because this information is
difficult and time-consuming to dig out of LENR-CANR.org. The problem
there is that I cannot feature one author over another. The ones I
leave out would be upset, and I think it would be kind of unfair. So
the site becomes a large mass of undifferentiated information --
which is an accurate reflection of the status of the field itself.
Brian Scanlan just called me and discussed ways to improve this
presentation without -- we hope -- ruffling too many feathers.
Let me try to graft these two drafts together . . . A shame we did
not start on this sooner, but I guess we can do it tomorrow, while
True Democrats everywhere sleep late and nurse a hangover.
