The energy industry will gradually vanish. It will take decades. It took decades for cars to replace horses. That began around 1900. The U.S. horse population peaked in 1929. While the energy sector will gradually decline and vanish, other industries will flourish because of cold fusion. Things like indoor factory farms will boom. Many energy intensive industries will boom, because their products will suddenly be much cheaper. As I said, all of the weapons systems will need to redesigned from scratch to take advantage of it. All U.S. Navy ships will be obsolete, and will have to be replaced. Think of the profits to be made there! > With stakes that high, shouldn't we expect LENR researchers to get > offers they can't refuse? > That is not possible. There will be hundreds of thousands of LENR researchers. No organization will be large enough or powerful enough to co-opt, threaten or kill them all. As I said, the DoE cannot stop Chinese researchers. There are only about a thousand researchers in the world now. At this moment. You might be able to threaten them all. But the fossil fuel industry and the DoE both think that cold fusion does not exist. They have no knowledge of it. The are not going to try and stop something that they consider a lunatic fringe perpetual motion machine movement. (We can thank Robert Park and John Huizenga for that.) By the time they realize it is real, it will far too late to stop it. There will be thousands of new researchers entering the field every week when that happens. The only thing I have heard from the top people in the Navy, the DoE, the APS, Time magazine, the oil companies, or other mainstream organizations is the kind of ignorant abuse spouted by Mary Yugo over at the Washington Post. "It is all a scam. All crazy tin-foil hat nonsense." I am sure they sincerely believe that. As long as they go on believing that, they will make no effort to stop Rossi. Or Mizuno, or me, for that matter. They have done nothing to stop us so far. The president and CEO of National Instruments, on the other hand, knows perfectly well that cold fusion is real. He is not going to keep that knowledge to himself indefinitely. Other wealthy and powerful people know this, and they too are beginning to stir. Here is a prediction, or a scenario, if you will. Sooner or later some nitwit "pundit" at the New York Times or at Fox News or who-knows-where will realize that many powerful, well informed people take this subject seriously. He will read Truchard's keynote address and ask a physicist to look into it. The physicist then reads McKubre and stops and thinks before rejecting it. A few of them do, you know. The physicist reads the latest from ELFORSK. The pundit writes an article, which will trigger other articles, which -- perhaps in a matter of days -- may trigger an avalanche of interest. Public opinion changes quickly in the Internet era. I am not saying this will definitely happen, but I would not bet against it. Think about the effect of a few more studies from ELFORSK, with a wide variety of input power measurements listed this time. Of course Yugo and Shanahan will reject them. That goes without saying. But hundreds of other people will be pushed off the fence. - Jed
