Gentlemen, I have no solution to offer. I cannot fault Jed, who has invested
a couple decades of his time and treasure in promoting CF with every means
at his disposal, including constructively nagging every investigator in the
field. Nor can I fault Ed for his open-minded scholarship an exemplary
research. You neglected Steve Krivit, who organized the The Galileo Project
to get several labs to do the SPARWARS experiments. The upcoming ACS meeting
in Salt Lake City will have many LENR speakers, and if Steve Krivit is
successful, there will be media coverage. There should be a 60 Minutes story
from ICCF-14; a TV crew was there covering the first day. There has been
goverment support from the Navy and DARPA.
After twenty years, the PF Effect is real, but it is still an Effect and not
very effective, pardon the pun. Until it can be controllably scaled up
serious investment will not flow. Mills has repeatedly demonstrated a
reaction yielding 50 kW and 1 megajoule from a few grams of reactant,
confirmed by Rowan University, and is moving toward commercialization.
Significant problems remain but there is momentum and private funding.
LENR needs substantial funding to get beyond the Effect stage.
