Indeed, the current lack of a clear understanding of the engineering (and theory) involved would HAVE to spark considerable debate within the US for years - assuming Rossi & Focardi's device turns out to be a winner. Risk concerns (risks which I gather are unconfirmed at this moment) of unwanted/unshielded radiation exposure, versus the more familiar risks of continued unpredictable price fluctuations from the international petroleum scene ought to keep PACS & politicians busy and well funded for quite a while. On one side of the street protesters will carry picket signs warning: "Don't let them Rossi-date your water!" Hmmmm... who could be funding this grass-roots organization... I just wonder. ...whereas on the other side of the street: "Kill ITER!" ...and then, there's Mills & Co., presumably getting ready to strike before the end of 2011. Waaaaay too many variables to keep track of. Hopefully, a major fallout will turn out to be electric & heating bills at a fraction of their current costs. Hopefully within my lifetime.
