More Than Junk Science - 60 Minutes - CBS News
COLD FUSION TIMES
Wall Street Journal - Keith Johnson -
"Wasn’t cold fusion supposed to be a myth? Apparently not—“60 Minutes”
ran a story Sunday night arguing that so-called cold fusion is “hot again.
”.... . Laboratories in the U.S., Italy, and Israel have all run
experiments dunking palladium in deuterium and then zapping it with electric
current. The promise of cold fusion is that that mix creates more energy
than it consumes. The problem with cold fusion is nailing down if that’s
true. In the “60 Minutes” segment, even some skeptics of cold fusion, such
as the University of Missouri’s vice chancellor Rob Duncan, come away
convinced that excess heat is indeed being generated in the lab tests. The U
.S. Navy has also apparently concluded that cold fusion works—in one test
anyway. .... Still, as if regular nuclear power weren’t fodder enough for
the energy debate, the revival of talk about cold fusion should get some
vitriol flowing."
