"Tabletop" Fusion Researcher Committed Scientific Misconduct Jul 21, 2008
326 comments writes: "The peer-reviewed journal Science is carrying a cover story about the possibility of table top fusion. Not cold fusion, mind you, but the apparatus might look that way to some. Oak Ridge and other labs say they have gotten the fingerprints of fusion (neutron production) from collapsing bubbles in liquid, a process that heats a local area to temperatures as hot as the surface of the sun, and releases photons. The disputes are already here -- notably from Dr. Robert Park of... (Slashdot)

Ethanol rush may be doing more harm than good Jun 26, 2008
DW wrote on Jun 25, 2008 12:08 PM:" Ethanol is a big fat mistake for a plethora of reasons. One of the main reasons gas costs for much is that we have devalued our currency so much that it takes many more dollars to by oil on the world market. Also, the refineries must, by law, make as much as 40 different blends of fuel depending on which part of the country the fuel is going to. This in turn makes gas much more expensive by limiting the supply. If our polititians would get off their butts and... (Longview Daily News, WA)

Far from displaying uncanny prescience, these conjectures mainly demonstrated his lifelong, and often disappointed, optimism about the peaceful uses of technology from his calculation in 1945 that atomic-fueled rockets could be no more than 20 years away to his conviction in 1999 that clean, safe power from cold fusion would be commercially available in the first years of the new millennium.
