[I sent the following follow-up message to several researchers and profs.]
Regarding the positive comment about cold fusion here:

Perhaps you underestimate the importance of this event. Granted, it
is not like the "60 Minutes" broadcast. However, Google is the most
innovative company on earth, and the New York Times is one of the
most influential newspapers, so this is an important milestone.
I believe this field needs additional funding and more researchers,
that is wider participation by the scientific community.
Dr. Weihl is exactly the kind of person and Google is exactly the
kind of organization we most need. He has publicly stated that he
thinks cold fusion is real, which is still (unfortunately) a rare
thing for a high status person to do. So, if you can find a way to
communicate with Dr. Weihl, you should invite him to participate in
the research, or at least take a closer look at it. He might start by
attending the March American Chemical Society meeting.
I sent him a message. But, generally speaking it is impossible for
someone like me to break through the bureaucracy at a place like
Google. People like Weihl at organizations such as Google, usually
surround themselves with many layers of subordinates and cyber tools
to filter their mail. I expect that a message that includes the words
"cold fusion" is automatically diverted to the spam filter. It is
unlikely that I can reach him, but perhaps one of you can. I believe
this effort would be worth a few minutes of your time.
Perhaps you should send a paper letter here:
