Terry, I strongly and respectfully disagree. We have heard this kind of "sour grapes" negativism on Vo many times before wrt LENR at EarthTech, but I don't buy it a minute, and for a number of logical reasons....
BTW... I did not miss your "depth charge" (i.e. don't be put-off by a sub-line pun ;-) Anyway ... Trust me! At least for today... http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/19741/?nlid=1545 First off, it is almost foolish to say, as that person Nori does (is he really an academic? doubt it!) that "Earthtech's purpose is to willfully muddy the waters by falsely claiming to be unable to reproduce experiments that pose a risk to the status quo." Idiotic charge! Who would fund willful disinformation? Makes no sense at all when you think about the ramifications. Like anyone else, they can make mistakes, and may have made a few questionable calls about LENR in the past, or about hydrino systems which were only slightly OU - but not robust enoguh to be unequivocal, but "willfull disinformation" is a ridiculous and even slanderous charge. First off - how does anyone benefit, even an oil company (if they were behind EarthTech's funding)? No oil company would ever benefit from maintaining the status quo in the face of a real breakthrough advance, by even a tiny fraction of the net effect of how they would massively benefit by capitalizing on the advance itself. IOW they cannot assume that issuing a flase report will kill any project. In fact, it most probably would motivate the inventor to improve the results and go elsewhere, and then ET would end up being a laughing-stock and worse. IOW they WANT very much to be involved on the ground floor of anything which is real. With the empahsis on real. But they also want to avoid the mountains of BS which are to be found in the alternative energy arena. Here is a real present tense example to watch in the near future. Keep you eye on what will happen with the Letts/Cravens/Hagelstein device. Dennis Letts, I'm pretty sure, is a neighbor of EarthTech in the Austin area and knows them better than anyone else, and has his own interests at heart. Would he be involved with them for testing this device if he thought ET was some kind of a "false front"? Absolutely NOT! If Earthtech finds something that is a genuine robust anomaly - then you can be sure they will immediately try to buy or finance it, and then help to promote it - NOT hide it. And that is doubly ture if they are funded by oil interests. What better way for an oil company to succeed against the comptetion ! That is the only logical purpose for their endeavor and they are very logical and precise people. (well, the only purpose aside from being the first to propose a theory behind the breakthrough: i.e. from the more noble i.e. "Nobel" perspective). IOW IF the theoreticians at ET are in the cat-bird's seat, and are the first to spot ZPE in action, then the payoff for them is more than monetary, since it allows precious time to hone the "theory" in advance of the public demo. Get it? That is most laudable, when you come to think of it. Personally, I salute them and their efforts for being both thorough and tough and even a little skeptical. You have to be, given the skills of the con-artists at work out there in "free-energy". When and if a robust showing of a real energy anomaly occurs, you can be sure that they will NOT try to hide it - but instead - they will probably try to buy into it in some way (even if only from the theoretical perspective)! ... and please, no comments today about turkey investors being led to the slaughter!

This was recently (11/23/09) posted on the Hydrino group: "As I have pointed out in the past, EarthTech is not to be trusted. Their purpose is to pretend to fail at replication so as to discredit experiments that risk upsetting the status quo: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hydrino/message/12488 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hydrino/message/12558 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hydrino/message/13036";; While I have often suspected the same, I find it remarkable that this poster, who is possibly a lecturer at the University of Pittsburg (in the Chevron Science Center no less! :) makes such bold statements. He goes on to say that Randell Mills is wise to shun EarthTech. Terry
