Cold Fusion — Hoax or Legitimate Science?
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BNLOIQeH68]Here, 2GreenEnergy Report host George Alger interviews me on cold fusion. While I’m as skeptical as the next guy, I see no reason to throw the concept out the window, and dismiss it as impossible.
Paradigms in Energy Research Can Act As Blinders
In response to my posting my friend Tom Blakeslee’s piece on the developments in low-energy nuclear reactors coming out of Italy, frequent commenter Dan Conine writes: The problem with Cold Fusion is not the energy, nor the impossibility of it, …

2GreenEnergy Report – Cold Fusion
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BNLOIQeH68] Here’s a recent interview in which George Alger asks me about cold fusion. Obviously, this is a controversial topic, viewed by many as a hoax. Yet some credible people believe it’s legitimate science — and, as I point …
Cold Fusion / Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions: Do Discussions of “Fringe” Science Harm Our Credibility?
I get occasional emails from professional engineers telling me that I’m harming our site’s credibility by suggesting that cold fusion is legitimate science. Here’s a fellow who’s not too sanguine on the subject: Cold fusion has yet to be lifted …
Wally Rippel: Politics and Economics Have Caused Many Cold Fusion Casualties
Wally Rippel pointed out to me that there have been numerous casualties from the political and economic fall-out surrounding cold fusion. As an example, Dr. Peter Hagelstein at MIT, best known for his X-ray laser, is also a strong proponent …

Wally Rippel: The Human Side of the Cold Fusion Equation Is Even More Interesting than the Science
Wally Rippel pointed out to me that the human side of the equation is even more interesting than the science. There has been a calculated effort to discredit the idea of cold fusion. For obvious reasons, cold fusion threatens existing …
Wally Rippel: Fusion Doesn't Have to Be Hot and Fast
Wally Rippel believes that it was simply an intellectual error to assume that fusion could only happen in the way it was does in the explosion of a hydrogen bomb, i.e., 100+ million degrees Kelvin and extremely short time periods …
