If you are looking for a consensus on whether commercially practical power output is possible, or whether it exists, I expect that the majority of people reading this list would agree that the Levi paper proves that Rossi has something close to commercially practical. Except that the cells sometimes melt. I have not taken a public opinion poll so I would not know what the majority here thinks, but that is my sense. You never know until you take a poll. Even then you might be wrong. As my late mother said, people responding to polls tend to say whatever pops into their heads at that moment. (She was an expert on public opinion research.) - Jed
