Disconnected DOE

For some time now, since www.science.gov and www.scienceaccelerator.gov first appeared, both of which are sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) and Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), there is still “0” information at the DOE’s home page, www.energy.gov, with respect to either LENR or Cold Fusion.  This is hard to understand in … Continue reading Disconnected DOE

Did the 2004 US DoE review reject cold fusion?

No. “Cold fusion,” as reviewed in 2004, was primarily the Fleischmann-Pons Heat Effect, with palladium deuteride, through electrolytic or gas loading. The review panel was evenly split on the issue of anomalous heat, half considering the evidence for a heat anomaly “compelling.” The only direct evidence that the FP Heat Effect is “nuclear” is the … Continue reading Did the 2004 US DoE review reject cold fusion?

Economics of Cold Fusion LENR Power US Department of Defense

“Economics of  Cold Fusion LENR Power” is a daunting subject for a series of articles, so complex. The savings an Ecat can bring to a homes’ budget was simple enough. I did that before I ordered one. It seemed logical to next take a look at a couple of the largest budgets in the United … Continue reading Economics of Cold Fusion LENR Power US Department of Defense

DOE eCat Stance Two Months Apart

In September of this year, the assistant to Al Opdenaker of the DOE answered an email enquiry on the dept.’s LENR stance. The response was not encouraging and Ruby Carat at Cold Fusion Now covered the exchange (and followed it with their own letter and reply). Over the past few weeks, as little hints emerged […]

US Senate Candidate on LENR and Rossi’s eCat

Ruby Carat at Cold Fusion Now has posted an interview with US Senate candidate Randy Hekman about LENR. A long-time advocate of the science, I’m not sure we can count his support as evidence of a growing awareness in the same way we might think of Romney and Tarr’s apparent interest. No stranger to subject, […]

Letters to Congressional Energy Sub-committees repeat hearings request

Why does the Department of Energy refuse to acknowledge LENR science and technology as part of its energy portfolio? Why does the US Patent Office siphon cold fusion patent applications outside of the review channel? A recent mailing sent two dozen letters to the Senate Sub-Committee on Energy and other Senators requesting hearings into these … Continue reading Letters to Congressional Energy Sub-committees repeat hearings request
