Someone else did, and they sent me a copy of the response. As you see, it is a form letter written by someone who knows nothing. One of the cold fusion researchers read this and commented: "Thank you for confirmation that DOE doesn't read its own reports." Opdenaker has probably not heard of Rossi, but as it happens, someone else in the DoE has heard of him, and recently wrote an encouraging and optimistic message saying he hopes Rossi is real. I do not think he observed a test. The DoE is a huge organization and people in one department have no idea what is happening in another. Some of them have heard of cold fusion and Rossi, and others clearly have not. I cannot complain about Uncle Sam. Overall, the US government and especially the military has better knowledge of cold fusion than any other institution in the world. It has done more for cold fusion than any other. US corporations have done nothing for cold fusion. - Jed
