If you could tell us how to make Ni work, your position would be a lot stronger. As I said, most people who have tried Ni saw no heat or any other evidence of cold fusion. There are no known control parameters with Ni. Whereas Storms, Cravens and others have described how to make Pd work, and McKubre has described the control parameters. Since most people do not know how to make Ni, work, and you probably do not know either, I do not see why you criticize those who use Pd instead. Would it be better for them to spend years working with Ni getting no results at all? You might make the case that Rossi should file for a patent and tell people how to make Ni work, to speed up the pace of progress. Maybe he should. But he has chosen not to. So that option is out. As a practical matter, what do you suggest? - Jed
