U.S. Department of Energy 2004 Cold Fusion Review Status Update

By Steven Krivit, for NewEnergyTimes.com
Researchers and science journalists from around the world continue to wait for a conclusion from the 2004 Department of Energy Cold Fusion Review. On Oct. 29, Dr. James Decker, Deputy Directory of the DOE'S Office of Science wrote, "We have the reports of 18 reviewers which I received last Wednesday before going on travel. Some of those reports were received later than anticipated. We are carefully sorting through the reviewers' comments. Some time ago, we had a media inquiry that we answered by saying we would release something by the end of the year. I was optimistic in thinking we could get something out this month. I assure you I am working to achieve a release as soon as possible."
Decker had also indicated that his current hope for release of a conclusion was during the month of November, but that his priority was to insure that DOE's conclusion was an accurate and fair representation of the various reviewers, rather than to rush to achieve a specific deadline.
New Energy Times (tm) is pleased to present a new web page dedicated to the publicly-known information about the 2004 U.S. Department of Energy Cold Fusion Review, as well as the original 1989 review. The page includes an audio recording, notes from a slide presentation, 8 full-text papers, and excerpts from The Rebirth of Cold Fusion. The slide presentation includes, among other details, the names of 11 of the 18 reviewers of this years' review. The other reviewers' names remain secret.

Cold Fusion Fever Spreads Through the Internet (Again)
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. Nov. 17, 2004.
In a stunning reversal from the lack of media attention throughout the last 15 years, the cold fusion community not only is starting to get widespread attention through the use of the Internet and other forms of electronic communication, but some researchers within the community are actually displeased about this.
Two websites, www.newenergytimes.com and www.iscmns.org recently posted information from the most recent international cold fusion conference (ICCF-11), which, to the chagrin of some, contained information which the presenters at the conference did not intend to release publicly. The independent Web sites are maintained by two former information technology specialists, Steven Krivit and William Collis, respectively.
Despite the fact that conference presentations were open to the public and press, the disclosure of certain presentations has now come as a surprise and shock to some. "I am astonished!" said one researcher. "This material belongs to me and my fellow authors," apparently oblivious to the fact that a handful of reporters and one television crew were in the audience.
The topic of scientific secrecy has reared its ugly head within the cold fusion community and the formerly neglected group of researchers are now grappling with the complex issues of confidentiality and copyrights. The disclosure of one of the presentations caused one of the U.S.' leading cold fusion researchers some consternation, saying that this might result "in me not lecturing in this manner again."
Despite the concerns of a few, there are others within the community who defend the public's right to know and the free exchange of scientific information. As cold fusion research gains acceptance into mainstream science, it is starting to lose the quiet, private world that so many within the community have, to some extent, enjoyed in the last decade and a half.
Errata to Nov. 16, 2004 New Energy Times Newsletter
The news story referring to the Nashua Times article regarding Infinite Energy (www.infinite-energy.com) was mistakenly repeated in the recent New Energy Times (tm) newsletter. Recent news from the New Energy Foundation and Infinite Energy is that they are starting to attract new talent and have recently appointed three technical editors, to be announced in the next issue of Infinite Energy magazine. |
