Total energy input still far higher than output
***Seems like a typo to me.

“Fusion power would avoid the need for long-term storage of radioactive waste. And unlike fossil fuels like coal, it would not produce greenhouse gases that cause global warming.”

BUT!

It DOES PRODUCE ENERGY, which is what the envirowhackos and the Population Control crowd REALLY HATE.

The “pollution” and “warming” memes are just scare tactics, to hide their true agenda.

The final reaction took place in a tiny “hot spot” about half the width of a human hair over about a ten thousandth of a millionth of a second
***And yet, the science bandwagon joiners will claim that this measurement, at less than a billionth of a second, is reliable. But over at MIT, Hagelstein’s measurement of 80 TIMES MORE ENergy OUT than INPUT, over SEVERAL DAYS, is somehow flawed.

You nailed it.

And hot fusion actually exists in trillions of stars across the universe.

So, for all the hundreds of $billions we have spent on controlled hot fusion (CHF), the take-home is that we can go outside and look at the sun? We could look at the sun well before those $billions were spent. We got basically nothing.

Today, after 60 years of research, we “might” have overunity for a billionth of a second in CHF. We’re far away from Ignition. But in Cold Fusion, we’ve had overunity for 23 years, and ignition for the same amount of time.

Break even? Hosrefeathers. What was the energy cost of isolating tritium and deuterium?

I agree. You’re right. We got even less than break even for all those $billions spent. CHF is a gigantic scam.

Fusion has been 20 years in the future for the last 60 years.

That’s actually a REALLY good point.

Cold fusion is a lie that can’t even be demonstrated anywhere in the universe.

Stars exist, unicorns don’t.

Cold Fusion was demonstrated 2 weeks ago at MIT by Dr. Hagelstein.

Using stars as an example of CHF is incredibly ignorant. We could look at stars before the experiments started, and we can look at them now. So what was all that money spent on?

Cold fusion is a lie. It doesn’t exist anywhere in the universe aside from the fevered imaginations of the scammers and those duped into believing it.

CHF is a lie. It’s a scam to the tune of hundreds of $billions. CHF corner-turn has been 50 years, and that has been 60 years ongoing; LENR corner-turn has been about 5 years for the last 3-4 years. CHF cost hundreds of $billions in TAX dollars, while LENR has cost something in the tens of $Millions, and it has been almost all private money. CHF IP is worthless; LENR IP sold for $20M a few weeks ago. CHF con artists publish breathless articles about something that took place over 1 billionth of a second; LENR demonstrations have lasted days, weeks, and even months.

Yup. If LENR scientists wanted to learn how to scam, they would take lessons from CHF frauds.

Buzzkill.

Don’t you know how warm Northern Michigan will be when all the unicorns gallop in?

Well the great lakes are fusing into a solid mass of very cold water.

Nahhh, he just enjoys calling scientists liars. For instance, all those 14,720 replications of the F-P Anomalous Heat Event... all those scientists are liars. What a huge conspiracy! Wider than the one that Hillary Clinton claimed when she coined the phrase “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”.

Ice bridge for them to gallop across.

It all begins to make sense if you stick with these threads long enough.
