"....unless you want to make this a “Caucus of the Gullible”"

I'd be satisfied if I could make it into a "Caucus of Rational Discussion", instead of one laden with seagull ****.

It's the hype and groundless cheer leading that has gotten in the way.
What has actually been accomplished with Rossi’s device?

He has sold/delivered one. ONE,
His E-cat has heated water by means Rossi cannot or will not explain. Lots of theory, few facts.

Despite the hype, the climate has not been saved and all our energy problems solved by an E-cat. It's still a water heater.

Remove all the cheer leading, the noxious hype about changing paradigms, about rewriting physics, restructuring the energy market, blah and blah, what's left?

Rossi, damaged goods by any measure, has a big water heater that he will not allow to be independently tested.

All this may change in the future but at the moment....

Rossi still looks like a three card monte man.
