This isn't accurate. The page is not "frozen," it's protected so that only administrators can edit it. This was a result of a complaint by Andy the Grump about revert warring, see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&oldid=454969957#User:POVbrigand_reported_by_User:AndyTheGrump_.28Result:_Page_Protected.29
The protection will expire in about a week or so. Until then, edits can be made to the article by finding consensus on the Talk page. Really, to keep stuff in the article, editors are supposed to negotiate consensus anyway.
Wikipedia is a mess, but ... the policy on Reliable Source makes sense for a publicly-edited encyclopedia. Want to report or disclose the latest and greatest about the Energy Catalyzer or other controversial topics? Consider Wikiversity. See http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Cold_fusion/Energy_Catalyzer
Wikiversity still has a neutrality policy, but it handles it in a very different way. Orignal research is allowed, under some conditions. And discussion is also allowed. Wikipedia dislikes discussion *of the topic*. Wikiversity encourages it, properly done.
Think "educational resources," not "articles."
