I usually like to look at what people are saying on the vortex-l mailing list, because I find there is a lot of interesting discussion of cold fusion-related topics there, and some smart and well informed posters contributing. I was particularly struck with a post there by Jed Rothwell, who was discussing what really was on- and off-topic when it comes to discussions about cold fusion. He said in part: Cold fusion is a broad subject

How Big of a Story is Cold Fusion?
Dear Editor,
I think Andrea Rossi is doing more damage to the cold fusion/LENR field then anyone else.
I posted this letter here: http://shutdownrossi.com/
An Open Letter to the Scientists Supporting Andrea Rossi
Sergio Focardi, Giuseppe Levi, Christos Stremmenos,
Sven Kullander, and Hanno Essén.
Dear Sirs:
It is with sadness that I have
to address you all in this fashion. Rather I would like to spend time
discussing with you the finer discoveries happening in the scientific
world. These are exciting times.
This letter addresses your participation in, and support of the project of Andrea Rossi, called the e-cat.
I have personnel evaluated
every publicly available video, every news article, every interview,
every original blog article and discussion from January 1, 2007 to the
date of this letter that concerns the e-cat and your part in Andrea
Rossi’s project, that I could find. Both in print and on the internet. I
have personally communicated with innumerable numbers of players in
this field and in the media. From PhD scientists, politicians, national
media reporters, to the man in the street.
After absorbing all of this
information there is only one conclusion that can be reached that fits
all the facts and makes any sense to an open minded and critically
thinking person. Andrea Rossi’s e-cat program is a farce. Andrea Rossi
does not have, nor ever has had, a cold fusion/LENR device that can
operate as he claims with a COP of 6, and at a power level of 10 KW to 1
MW, or even 1 KW.
The ship Andrea Rossi is on is crashing and I am showing you all a way to get in a life boat and be safe when it does.
Just stop and ask yourself one question. Thinking carefully, ask yourself if there is even the slightest possible chance that Andrea Rossi may have rigged any demonstration you witnessed? If so you must jump in the offered lifeboat and get to shore quick.
This is how the world sees your participation in Rossi’s e-cat project.
Everyone of you, believing in Andrea Rossi and believing in each other had the wool pulled over your eyes by Andrea Rossi.The only other choice is that you are willing participants in Andrea Rossi’s e-cat farce.
Have you stopped to think what it will mean to your careers and/or reputation when Andrea Rossi’s project hits the rocks, and the complete truth becomes known, if you do not act now to prevent that?
It has already been documented on this site and many others that Andrea Rossi
has continually lied, told hundreds of outright falsehoods about every
aspect of his operation, that the scientific integrity of every one of Andrea Rossi’s demonstrations has been challenged, Andrea Rossi’s patent applications will never result in any patents, Andrea Rossi’s scientific papers and statements are complete gibberish, Andrea Rossi claims in his patent applications he can build an e-cat with copper powder and hydrogen, Andrea Rossi claims in his patent applications his e-cat is both a fission and fusion nuclear reactor, and now Andrea Rossi is claiming that his latest e-cat is operating at 600C in self-sustaining operation for over 40 days.
Andrea Rossi
claims to have more than one Nobel winning cold fusion/LENR reactor in
operation. 1 MW in size. These devices if real would change the world
for all time. They would raise the living standards of billions of
people. They would feed the hungry, water the deserts, warm the cold,
and bring low cost energy to the world. A dog and pony show was given in
public for one of these devices on October 28, 2011 for all to see, but
verified and proved nothing. These devices are supposedly NOW currently
FOR SALE. But the new research center at the University of Missouri created to study LENR, where Mr. Duncan is administering a $5.5M grant – refused to buy one of Andrea Rossi’s
1 MW plants for research and study. In my first communications with Mr.
Duncan this year he was not even aware Andrea Rossi had any e-cats for
sale, of any size.
Many people are calling for testing of these 1 MW devices, and I find it interesting that if they were truly for sale as Andrea Rossi
claims then why doesn’t 100 of the leading science institutions and
universities all get together and buy one of these 1 MW plants and break
it up into 100 individual 10 KW e-cats? Then each institution would
only have to spend $150,000 of the retail price. And if Andrea Rossi is out to save the world like he claims then he would let them have it for only $500,000 costing each institution only $5,000. So why isn’t this being done? Because Andrea Rossi is lying and he does not have anything for sale that works as he claims.
In a 180 degree spin from all
known marketing and promotion of ground breaking inventions in all of
the world’s recorded history Andrea Rossi refuses to advertize these
things for sale in any form, anywhere. No TV spots, no magazine ads, no
newspaper ads, no radio ads, no company press kits. Nothing, just total
silence except from Andrea Rossi’s personnel internet
blog. I bet there are many firms that would advertize and promote these
for free, just for the publicity their firm would get, (if they were
real, that is).
Andrea Rossi is actively seeking investors in his project based on false and misleading information.
If you want off his sinking ship it is easy to do – here’s how –
Just publish, for the whole world to see a letter to Andrea Rossi telling him that he must allow a true 3rd party independent test of one of his 10 KW e-cats which is the building block for his 1 MW e-cats that Andrea Rossi claims are FOR SALE right NOW as I write this letter.
The whole world must witness
the integrity of this test and see the published results or you must
tell Andrea Rossi you will publicly publish a statement removing your
support from Andrea Rossi and his e-cat project because you feel Andrea Rossi has been misleading you with false statements and demonstrations. (or something to that effect)
There is nothing wrong
with making mistakes, we all do it. But it takes a real man to stand up
and admit it, instead of just sticking their head in the sand hoping it
all will just go away. May you gentleman have the guts to stand up and do the right thing before the whole world before it is to late is my hope.
Warm Regards,
Gary Wright
