Their logo is too busy and, as cute as the kitty is, it’s a bit much.

One quick observation... I see that Stirling Alan, the man who reported that Rossi had a deal with National Instruments, has apparently set up Rossi's web site.

Not only is he reporting on Rossi, but he's a business partner as well.

Residential system cost (if and when): $2500 for the device, $20 - $40 per year in "fuel"

Sounds too goo to be true.

From the 1MW unit's page:

"An auxiliary power source of 250 kW will be needed to start up the plant, bringing the resistive heaters up to temperature."
That's a lot of juice, boys and girls.

Terms: Full payment in escrow.

That sounds nice and honest. Maybe it is.

Of course, with $200 million in escrow (the cost of the 100 E-Cats that Rossi claims to have orders for), he should have no trouble attracting venture capitalists or (more likely, I think) individual investors.

This wouldn't be the first time a con artist used sales in escrow to scam investors. Steorn appears to have raised over €10 million from investors and venture capitalists for a "free energy" scam.

According to Jed Rothwell, quoting the Forbes article, National Instruments did not buy an E-Cat from Rossi. LINK

I guess the secret company is still secret.

That's "Watt". (Just a little physics humor.)

The device supposedly can heat water to just over the boiling point. It won't run a steam turbine (to generate large amounts of electricity). It would be enough to heat a large building, or distill water (for example).

If it really works, it's going to be a major revolution. However, there are lots of reasons to be suspicious of Rossi and his E-Cat.

We're still waiting for independent confirmation that it actually works.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That is an acceptable statement, but it is extremely doubtful that this device can do it with any less than one megawatt of input power.

Never mind that, get a load of this from the same page

It cannot "melt down" like conventional nuclear reactors. This is because if the temperature inside the reactor cores rise beyond a certain level, the nickel powder will melt, destroying the reaction sites at which the nuclear reactions take place. With the reaction sites destroyed, the reactor cores will no longer function, and all nuclear processes will cease.

Hmm. I wonder what the licensing requirements are for a fusion/nuclear reactor.

250 kW ... That's a lot of juice, boys and girls.

Not for a 1 MW plant. It's like getting a 4.5 kW water heater at home (a very typical setup) that requires 1 kW of power whenever you start it up. My tea kettle takes more than 1 kW.
