Cold Fusion Redux

The scientific community may owe Pons and Fleishmann a huge apology.

"Researchers are reporting compelling new scientific evidence for the existence of low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), the process once called "cold fusion" that may promise a new source of energy. One group of scientists, for instance, describes what it terms the first clear visual evidence that LENR devices can produce neutrons, subatomic particles that scientists view as tell-tale signs that nuclear reactions are occurring."

If this finding stands up to rigorous review, peak oil and the disruptions it portends may become a history footnote of dubious distinction. One can only hope.
