I agree! About Rossi and Thermacore. I too recently pointed out that he is a work-a-holic. I know this for a fact. I have spoken with people who spent time with him in the lab. They all say he is a work-a-holic and a brilliant, hands-on experimentalist. Rossi is a man of mystery. He keeps his business private. He does not reveal much about his machines. He often says things that I assume are misdirection. But we know a few things about him and his personal life for sure. His work habits and his dedication do not fit the profile of a scammer. The main evidence that people such as Mary Yugo cite are Rossi's many failures and technical catastrophes, with things like biofuel and thermoelectric devices. I do not regard these as evidence that he is dishonest. I see them as evidence that he is a real inventor. Inventors always fail, often drastically. Edison wasted huge sums of money on magnetic ore separation. Real entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs also fail, in his case with the Apple III, the Lisa, and the NeXT corporation. - Jed
