Hi, another article is published in a (French speaking) Mainstream newspaper in switzerland: Le Temps http://www.letemps.ch/Page/Uuid/9a0dfe3e-7477-11e2-943f-94c4d8973bed#.URlJJmc-Erh you have to register to read it.
beside a description of N Chauvin and his partnership , there is clear evocation of the disdain of the local mainstream physicist about LENR. (quoted/translated on http://www.lenr-forum.com/showthread.php?1120-AGEFI-Geneva-Chauvin-LENR-Cars-presented-Funded-by-the-founder-of-Logitech&p=3954#post3954) maybe someone of his level can discuss with this important actor of hot fusion, to report recent data (less than 20 years old). *Start-up non grata on the EPFL site<http://www.letemps.ch/Page/Uuid/9a0dfe3e-7477-11e2-943f-94c4d8973bed#.URlJJmc-Erh> > * > > Supported by Daniel Borel, LENR Cars starts in cold fusion, an area of > controversy aimed an energy ideal > Cold fusion remains a subject of controversy since 20 years.
