Segment on American 60 minutes renews hope in cold fusion technology.

This would certainly be a lot better solution than a wealth stealing tax on carbon production. Though I could imagine governments and energy companies all over the world going to war with the people over this. Just imagine a shoe box under your house and in your car gives you all the energy you could ever want for nicks. It looks so simple that perhaps even a better than average handyman could make his own rendering him a terrorist :)

Cold fusion unfortunately is not a reality and unlikely to occur. Although there is some interesting physics that goes on with some of these materials.

The Youtube reference does not work, anymore. However there is a lot of technology out there that does work, and should be pursued to a far greater extent than they are. There has been a systematic suppression of alternative energy research,just as there has been of alternative medicine, and the works of Nicola Tesla are worth another read. A very long tunnel in Western Australia set up with lasers has detected gravity waves, and if these could be harnessed then cheap clean electricity could be the go.

Energy is power. The harnessing of energy by mankind to ease the need for manual labour has been immensely freedom generating. Oil may one day be unneccessary to a sustainable society, but it has done lots to maintain its supremacy.

Pajeco was a Bolivian who was able to continuously run a large vessel on nothing but seawater, split into hydrogen and oxygen, running an internal combustion engine. He was hounded and vilified, but he made the thing work.

There is a bloke in Queensland running a couple of big trucks on Hydroxy.

We need to keep an open mind.

The more that is known with quantum Particle Physics – the more likely we will be able to produce energy using plasma reactors etc- I had done a theses on known technologies some years ago
Tokomak Fusion reactors are a tribute name only to the Russian fellow who invented the concept – It is not something I have information on – at least to today’s standard – the problem that could not be resolved in the genesis of reactor – was the temperature and its containment.

And never mention alternative fuel cells in a public domains, or Men in dark suits have a habit of knocking down doors – and making or at least threaten to make things disappear.- And they are not aliens .
