I didn't say I believed it (ref. the Looneyversity post).  There's just too many things out there that aren't understood to write it off wholesale though.

Come on guys how do YOU think those carts keep going?  I always did best with Mario for some reason.

I want to believe..

see this right here?
 this is why we have cars that cost so much to fix. the engineers that design them "want to believe" that their stuff is perfect, never breaks, never wears out, sand they "want to believe" in permanently lubricated parts.  :devil

This is no joke dudes.

They've already signed contracts with GE to productize it:

Naturally, it's hard to document the processes behind a non-existent phenomenon....

I don't really understand what you tried to say, but anti-matter exists and can be created on demand, it just takes energy and is impractically difficult to store at the moment.

Cold Fusion will cause WWIII.

I'm not sure it would go global, but there definitely would be some middle east countries that would need to quickly expand to stay competitive in the global market.

I hope it is reality, without a new energy source there will be a third world war with a much higher body count, eventually.

I thought "Cold fusion" was when someone stuck their toungue on a frozen pole and it stuck........

Just because some real things are hard to understand doesn't mean that everything we don't understand is true. For cold fusion to happen, there would have to be major rethinking of the way nuclear physics works.
As is the case for much of modern physics.  

Quote
Cold fusion is essentially impossible - the modern equivalent of the perpetual motion machine. You think all those journals that turned these guys down were just being pig headed?  These guys are scammers....If fusion occurs - cold or warm - there HAVE to be atomic particles released, and these guys say there isn't any. It's a pipe dream.
Aside these particular guys, the cold fusion/lenr phenom is real.  The problem's people are hung up on the word "fusion" in the name that stuck to this particular phenomenon, whatever it is. The question is what it is exactly.
I read that they're trying to sell it, but won't let anyone reproduce the results.  That makes it a scam instead of an "error".
Reportedly they'll let others reproduce after commercial rights are secured, after some company gets the thing running.  So the jury's out till then. No credibility either way, on whether the thing's real or scam.  These two particular guys have admitted they're not sure exactly how it works..  So it's all (conveniently for scam scenario) consistent with plain engineering common sense: who cares how it works, if it does its job. IE produce useful energy, economically.  

One of the things of notice is how people will slag on this thing, here, that's not even properly understood and yet is definitely noticeable, definitely exists, but on the other hand people have no trouble at all entertaining hot fusion.  Which so far is arguably just a monumental money pit. E.G. the national ignition facility that's gotten relatively lots of press...  That thing's a nuke weapons research project, not something that'll produce economical fusion power any more than ITER.
I don't really understand what you tried to say, but anti-matter exists and can be created on demand, it just takes energy and is impractically difficult to store at the moment.
Prolly meant dark matter.
I'm not sure it would go global, but there definitely would be some middle east countries that would need to quickly expand to stay competitive in the global market.

I hope it is reality, without a new energy source there will be a third world war with a much higher body count, eventually.
People in the middle east are aware of more promising paths to fusion such as Polywell. E.G. There's first hand reports of affluent locals in Dubai discussing it.
