US Senate Candidate Wants Cold Fusion Research
December 31, 2011A candidate for the United States Senate (the upper house of the US Congress) supports the idea of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions Research. In an entry on his blog Randy Hekman stated his belief in Cold Fusion and compared it to the space race.

Interestingly enough Hekman stated he spent three years doing laboratory research on LENR. He doesn’t mention Andrea Rossi or E-cat but he does state that he knows Lewis Larsen CEO of Lattice Energy LLC who developed a cold fusion theory called the Widom-Larsen Theory.
Rumor Mill: US Navy Has Shut Down Cold Fusion Research
December 22, 2011The United States Navy’s cold fusion research program may have been halted. Jed Rothwell who operates the LENR-CANR.org website has posted a blog entry stating the cold fusion research efforts at the Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command have been shut down.
Unfortunately Rothwell provided no evidence for this claim so it is impossible to verify. Rothwell blames mass media exposure and cold fusion critics for pressuring authorities to shut down the program. He points his finger at Robert Park a retired physics professor from the University of Maryland who was formerly the Director of Public Information at the American Physical Society and Mary Yugo who has accused Andrea Rossi of running a scam. Note Rothwell does not say how Park and Yugo affected Navy policy he just assumes they can. So his allegations against them are just that allegations.
Interesting Posts at Rossi’s Blog
December 17, 2011Although nothing but rumors and wild speculation, have been flying in the greater cold fusion community as of late. Some interesting things have been going on at Andrea Rossi’s official blog The Journal of Nuclear Physics. Here are some highlights of what has been happening there.
