"That’s the opinion of Rob Duncan, vice chancellor of research at the University of Missouri. He is in the early stages of pitching a plan to establish a national research program that would help scientists study tabletop energy.......
“Without a nationally funded program, you’re going to be limited by the scope of what you can do,” he said.......
Duncan is optimistic higher-ups might be willing to pay attention, even in tight budget times. At a conference in August, representatives from the Naval Research Laboratory presented findings from several experiments where excess heat was produced in a laboratory.".......

Certainly more research into both hot and "cold" fusion will increase basic knowledge but as the mind breaking amounts of money spent on hot fusion demonstrate, increasing budgets do not necessarily lead to practical results and may never.
So it appears that enough money is being spent on cold fusion research even if not a green Niagra from Washington.
Cold Fusion only works in Italy. It’s called the ‘Chianti Effect.’
Something tells me that it is either not possible — or so easy they’ll wonder why it took them so long to figure it out.
Funny I watched Continuum the other night (short version; show about a cop that is accidentally sent back in time 65 years with a gang of terrorists that are actually patriots that want to stand against the big corporations that a part if the one world government but act like thugs; hard o tell who the good or bad guys at times) and there was a scientist that was developing cold fusion technology to meet energy needs but the military saw the potential to weaponize it and use it against the people.
Just a strange parallel there; science fiction imitating what might become real life. Good show on Syfy; I recommend it...: )
I want federal funding so I can travel there to find out and I don’t mean going tourist class.
Soon as a good profit can be made it will be done.
That I think is very real possibility.
“Page Not Found” - did the FReeper Science Experts get it pulled or what?
How about not, since the majority of us taxpayers don’t want our money wasted chasing debunked conspiracy theories?
Easily fooled aren’t you.
LOL. Cold fusion has already demonstrated more progress than hot, having actually reached breakeven (and far more than breakeven).

How about we spend 1% of the funds thus far spent on "hot fusion" on LENR research??? Given that the "hot fusioneers" have been running a disinformation campaign against LENR since pretty much day one...the sole reason for which was to protect their monetary turf. An effort which has, unfortunately, been largely successful.
Nope, not fooled at all. I’ve actually looked at the evidence and saw with my own eyes that WTC7 suffered massive structural damage which caused the collapse. The huckster Alex Jones and his ilk don’t like to show you that evidence, though, because they are not interested in the truth, just promoting their bogus theories.
I should’ve put this in the text:

Google the title, too.
“did the FReeper Science Experts get it pulled or what?”
No, but I’m sure they wish they could.
Away with you! You’ve been exposed.
How about we spend 1% of the funds thus far spent on “hot fusion” on LENR research???
***I’m a revolutionary. I think it should be 2% or more. In fact, I think it should be proportional to the energy produced by each experiment over the last few years.
The hot fusion boys have spent $250B of our money, and the best we have to show for it is 6MJoules of output for a few seconds. In the meantime, hundreds of LENR experiments have generated thousands of MJoules for less than a thousandth of the cost — almost all of which is private money to begin with.
So for hot fusion, we’ve got maybe a total of 10MJoules for $250B, which comes to $25k/Joule. For cold fusion, we’ve got maybe a total of 100k MJoules for $250M, which 25cents/Joule.
Exposed as what??? Someone who thinks successful research should be rewarded by being accelerated to completion with additional funding, and that unsuccessful research should be de-funded?? I would think that any rational person would agree.
Shoo! You’ve been dismissed.
