That is because there are no moving parts in the solar panels. Also cold fusion / lenr to be cheap, it would require centralized power production but this is no good because transmission costs are far higher than installing roof-top solar. If home grid would go for direct current, there would be no need for inverters and transformers. Just plug in your iPad directly into wall socket! The cost of solar is diminishing exponentially. the average cost reduction of system price of solar has been 22 % ± 4 %-units per year for the last four years and there is absolutely no reasons why this trend should not continue still several years into future. By 2015 solar is globally the cheapest way to generate electricity. And by 2020 solar is cheaper than hypothetical cold fusion. Battery technology is also getting cheaper exponentially and the theoretical potential of nanoscale batteries is just unlimited.

There is no independent proof that would even suggest that Rossi has anything expect some excess money and plenty of free time. There are however lots of fools! However, as you said that Krivit is somewhat silly. It really does not require a genius in order to be confident that Rossi is bluffing. He is better just to be ignored, because Rossi is not by anymeans "dangerous". He does not deserve attention! I think that this is why I am rooting for crowd funding, because science-ignorant venture capitalists are far too easy to fool. Just say, that if you do not invest your money, someone else will! There are far more wisdom in the crowd than in individual investors. —Jouni
