I just received another email alert from New Energy Times. The content of the email states:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Where Does the Energy Come From in LENR? I received a question from a New Energy Times reader a few days ago: "What exactly is causing the energy to be produced in the LENR reaction according to the Widom-Larsen theory? Is it energy produced due to the transmutation of elements, or something else entirely?"

There is absolutely nothing wrong with advocating for a particular group, cause, or theory. For example, the Pure Energy Systems web site makes it very clear that they have established a working business relationship with Andrea Rossi. PESN states: Full Disclosure: PES Network has a business relationship with Andrea Rossi. Readers can then take such "disclosures" into account when they read information posted at such web sites. Often, the information posted, slanted it may be, can still be high quality. There is also the implication that such web sites may also have firsthand knowledge pertaining to their favorite subject that may not necessarily be available to the rest of the population or news sources. IOW, there can be advantages to making it clear to readers that such web sites have established themselves as an advocate outlet. However, Krivit seems to be attempting to give readers the impression that NET is an impartial news service. To that end I suspect there are few within the Vort Collective that perceive NET as behaving as if it's an impartial news service, particularly when it comes to "cold fusion" news. Krivit has relentlessly promoted the Widom-Laren theory above all other theories. The fact that Krivit supports the Widom-Larsen theory doesn't bother me. Why shouldn't the Widom-Larsen camp have a few supporters of their own, advertising the theory's alleged advantages. What bothers me is that apparently in order to enhance the perceived credibility of the Widom-Larsen theory Krivit has felt the need to attack the credentials of prominent CF researchers who are not in the Widom-Larsen camp. Krivit has also attacked Andrea Rossi, claiming the Italian inventor is a fraud. Some of the evidence Krivit recently presented in regards to Rossi was incredibly shoddy, such as when Krivit quoted verbatim a conversation he had with Rossi last year when he personally visited him. Krivit quoted Rossi's halting English speech patterns verbatim in an attempt to insinuate to gullible readers that the Italian lacks clarity in his thinking processes. That was an incredibly stupid thing for Krivit to have posted out on NET. It really drove home to me what lengths Krivit was willing to go to in order to find fault in those he perceives as the opposition, or perhaps even as the enemy. Meanwhile, Krivit has claimed that he would stop promoting the widom-larsen theory if he learned of new information that would suggest there is a better theory out there. However, based on the fact that Krivit has refused to listen to advice from credible experts who have serious reservations about the Widom-Larsen theory, and the fact that Krivit was willing to perform incredibly cheap posting theatrics to make others, like Rossi, look feeble minded, I don't believe Krivit's sincerity one bit. Not one bit at all. I just wish Krivit would simply come out of the closet state for the record what is obvious to everyone else. It's blatantly obvious to everyone that Krivit believes the Widom-Larsen theory is a really neat theory. It's obvious that Krivit wants his readers to give the Widom-Larsen folks more of their time and energy studying the theory's alleged merits. I'm sure Krivit would probably get a lot of W-L sympathizers willing to delve into its alleged advantages. I can live with that. Why can't Krivit? Who is Krivit trying to fool?
