RE: Experimental Energy - Cold Fusion

Great post, thanks.

I'll be honest: I don't hold great hope for cold fusion - at least not in usable form within my lifetime. It is a sad reality that we spend far too little money on science and far too much of it on buying votes, making money and similar dirty and frivolous pursuits.

I wouldn't rule it out though and would delight in seeing it become a reality... if the energy corporations and their extremely wealthy investors allow it ...

I agree with you. By the time the ITER completes its final test I’ll almost be at retirement age. Their testing process beyond that point would be to make a prototype for producing commercial electricity and not the actual commercial plant

On the plus side, we are seeing exciting developments in hot (VERY hot!) fusion reactors at this very moment. Considering that atomic energy is only about 80 years old, I'm satisfied with that!

I feel that the main difference between fission and fusion development was the war. We had to create technologies for fission from scratch and, at the time, the worlds resources were completely dedicated to it.

You can’t outpace a technology the entire world pushes.
