Further controversy about Rossi's cold fusion device:

Remember the old maxim: to have tried and failed is better than not trying at all? Rossi’s history certainly places a black mark on him. Having looked at his old work, he at least over-reached himself. He didn’t have the capital to scale the concept. In addition to the question of technological viability. We have the technology today to turn waste into crude via engineered microbes. Obviously it isn’t scalable at current market prices.
I wonder how many people have personally or corporately gone through a bankruptcy? Not only the humiliation to be unable to repay your creditors, but losing your credibility for at least 7 years, and probably for life.
A while ago, I discovered that Abraham Lincoln had gone bankrupt seven times before being elected president. Mark Twain fled from America to Europe to hide from his creditors. In fact many people who have changed the world changed it against these same brutalizing experiences. That they came through it at all is amazing, but then to go on to change the world is the mark of greatness.
Rossi’s LENR could sputter out in abject failure. Yes it could be a scam. But if we negate his credibility, and look at those who have surrounded and validated the phenomena, that is where the strength of claim lies.
