I was going to suggest to Mr. Gibbs that he ask Norman Foster Ramsey, co-chair of the DoE's original cold fusion panel, if he thought that there had been even one well attested reproduction of the phenomenon, whether "useful" or not. But then I noticed Ramsey died less than a year ago<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Foster_Ramsey,_Jr.> :
*"Ordinarily, new scientific discoveries are claimed to be consistent and reproducible; as a result, if the experiments are not complicated, the discovery can usually be confirmed or disproved in a few months. The claims of cold fusion, however, are unusual in that even the strongest proponents of cold fusion assert that the experiments, for unknown reasons, are not consistent and reproducible at the present time. However, even a single short but valid cold fusion period would be revolutionary." * - Dr. Norman Ramsey, Nobel laureate and professor of physics at Harvard University was the only person on the the 1989 Department of Energy cold fusion review panel to voice a dissenting opinion. Ramsey insisted on the inclusion of this preamble as an alternative to his resignation from the panel.
