    I can't even imagine what will happen if this is true...

    Please read this article, even if it turns out the whole thing is too good to be true. It purports that a pair of scientists have found a way to achieve cold fusion with a net gain in energy roughly ten thousand times more than a comparable quantity of gasoline, using hydrogen and nickel.

    I know this is obviously not definitive, but just think about the possibilities.

        We'd have another energy source.

            is lip and some over played BBS wheels and it would be perfect.

                  the scientists say that the cold fusion device they tested is 10 times more powerful than gasoline — which is currently the best fuel readily available to mankind.

                    Not just another energy source, but another energy source with no harmful byproducts, no dangerously exothermic reactions, and cheaper fuels than crude.

                    I would bet the big oil companies would be all for this...as long as they get in on the ground floor in terms of providing materials/services.

                    Why? The energy density statement or the "best fuel available" part?

                          Give it a few weeks and the scientists will be dead and the info/patents/research will mysteriously disappear.
