They are like Spain was with new world gold

. . . but unlikely to run out of it any time soon, it would appear. Cold fusion is, I fear, tin-foil hat stuff . . .

Excellent analysis generally.

"They are like Spain was with new world gold"

. . . but unlikely to run out of it any time soon, it would appear. Cold fusion is, I fear, tin-foil hat stuff . . . Excellent analysis generally

Spain was flooded with gold for 200 years, it didn't make them stronger, it did them no good at all. In the end Nepoleon brutally invaded, and the peasants began the first guerrilla war.

I agree cold fusion seems tin-foil hat, but technology does present surprises from time to time, and all of them are called tin-foil hat, by the establishment.
