… as I pointed out at some length in the first columns, should Rossi’s
E-Cat work as claimed, it will transform the world making oil, coal, and
conventional nuclear power along with wind and solar power obsolete as
energy sources.

It's been an exciting few weeks since Andrea Rossi demonstrated
his one-megawatt
E-Cat power plant with apparent success. Critics still believe
that the test was a sham, the mystery customer is a fake, and there
is no concrete evidence the technology works. Rossi has been busy
since then, and the E-Cat bandwagon is rolling onwards. But now he
has rivals in the cold fusion business.

I apologize in advance to those of you with aversions to new year
predictions, but here’s mine: 2012 will see private space ventures
attract more interest from the super-rich than ever before.

In my last post
I said I’d steer clear of the whole cold fusion thing until something
interesting happens. Well, in the last week something interesting has
happened …

Essentially, cold fusion is a low energy, contained nuclear reaction
which doesn’t use fossil fuels and produces no radiation. The problem is
that the laws of thermodynamics say Cold Fusion is impossible. But
Italian Scientist Andrea Rossi has demonstrated the E-Cat in front of an
invited audience – and it appears to work.

"A physicist in Italy claims to have demonstrated a new type of power
plant that provides safe, cheap and virtually unlimited nuclear power to
the world, without fossil fuels or radiation concerns."

The standard joke about nuclear fusion is that it's the energy
technology of the future, and always will be. Well, fusion is still an
energy option for the future rather than the present, but small steps
forward are being reported on several fronts. That even includes the
long-ridiculed campaign for "cold fusion."
