Premature promotion of the energy generation possibilities of cold fusion may play into the skeptical position.
There is copious evidence that the effect is likely to be useful, such as the fact that small cells have run for days producing 100 W or more. I do not know of any evidence that it will "self poison," chaotic, or that it cannot be scaled up, or that it will not be useful for some other reason. I don't give a damn what the skeptical position is or whether we "play into it." Telling people about practical prospects for cold fusion is the right thing to do. I agree with McKubre about that.
After all, there have been efforts for twenty years to find a way to make the reaction usable for practical purpose, to what result? And, yes, I'm fully aware that the question is unfair.
Since it is unfair we should dismiss it. - Jed
