RE: Experimental Energy - Cold Fusion

After reading the whole article, thanks again.
Yes, scientific advancement takes time, and then it spills over the edge and produces a breakthrough. And then it takes time again :)
Your notion of issues connected to the energy delivery, both the infrastructure and quantity, reminded me of another area. Electric vehicles and a hipe connected with them. If we really wish to fuel all those EV's that will flood our roads in the near future then we need much more electricity and much better leylines :)

Heat transfer and energy delivery is part of the series after I’m done with theoretical power production. There is definitely a lot of hype about it.
Since the creation of the first coal-steam power plant there hasn’t been all that much innovation on the electrical generation side
No, there hasn't. The industry is too powerful :)
Imagine that the electric cars survived the internal combustion engines powered vehicles onslaught early in the history of autonomous locomotion? Where would we be now?
I think it was the Electric Car company in the early 1900s that had their warehouse of electric taxis burned to the ground. No more electric cars appeared en mass until Ford did their prototype.
I am not familiar with the background yet it is said that the fire wasn't a coincidence. Things like these make me wonder in what direction could humanity be advancing if things turned differently at some crossroads ... Like the oil industry, for example
There are documentaries on the net of other projects supposedly deep-sixed by Big Oil. One project was a gas vapor engine. It was supposedly able to get a car to travel 1000-2000 mile on two gallons of gas. The tech was real but I don’t know if what happened to those people were real.
