Thanks for the Obit ... at present the ONLY main-stream media mention. Also picked up by the Chicago Tribune. http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/technology/nsc-the-state-of-the-cold-fusion-market-20120805,0,2242916.story The only other MSM-ish ecognition is a tweet from my co-wellian Steve Silberman (often seen on Salon, Wired..) I wonder if others don't care, or if they're avoiding it because they'd have to pick up the current CF/LENR story. > the process is supposed to generate a whole range of valuable elements and > if the hype is to be > believed, that probably includes unicorns as well Any transmutation products (particularly for Nickel/Hydrogen) are un-economical, and of scientific interest only. As for the economic value of Unicorns, it depends greatly on the color. White for Unicorns, Black for Swans, I think. One comment on your generally fair review, in "The dog that didn't bark" category --- Rossi presently offers the 1MW (original 120C version) unit for $1.5M, delivery 3 months ARO. Put the money in escrow and run all the acceptance tests you want (presumably with the restriction that you're not allowed to open the units). So why hasn't the dog barked? I would have expected a fairly loud bark if Rossi refused to take an order, or if it had been ordered but failed its acceptance test.
