The cold fusion horizon
This article is funny. It tries to do an end-run around any criticism of the subject matter by constructing an elaborate piece of work to establish that if you don&#x27;t agree with the basic premise of low energy nuclear reactions there must be something pathologically wrong with you.<p>And you are not only suffering from a defect, no you are doubly wrong, because having LENR would be such a great thing for the world.<p>For me it is simple. If someone shows up with a working LENR device (or even any device, who cares how it works as long as it is safe) that really outputs considerable power and they are willing to sell me that power at a rate that is lower than what my electricity company charges then I&#x27;ll be more than happy to sign up. Until then they, their investors and promoters should do what they can not to raise expectations beyond those that they can readily prove, no matter what the benefit to mankind and no matter how many scientists got unfairly (if so) railroaded for fudging their numbers and defrauding investors.<p>Cold fusion, zero point energy, unicorns.
