I think the question here is WHY? Why release a video saying LENR is
looking good as a powerful replacement for conventional fossil fuels, then
when questioned about it, Zawodny tells everyone, that it's not useful and
that he's sceptical about it.
Seriously, WTF is going on at NASA?
You need to re-read Zawodny's blog :
http://joe.zawodny.com/index.php/2012/01/14/technology-gateway-video/
a) They're required to publicize any patent, and a layman's video is
one way of doing it.
b) Zawodny says that he believes there IS credible evidence for LENR
c) Zawodny says that he has NOT seen credible scientific evidence for
"any clear and convincing demonstrations of any viable **commercial**
device producing useful amounts of net energy" (and then clarifies
what he means by scientific evidence -- and I think everyone here
agrees that Rossi's tests didn't amount to that, and that Defkalion
have showed nothing.) It's Rossi (and Defkalion) he's skeptical of.
d) The subject heading is a mis-statement of what Gibbs said (ie that
NASA's statement added nothing useful). Neither Zawodny or Gibbs said
that LENR couldn't be useful.
