Planet Forward needs cold fusion

Cold Fusion Now posted the What is Cold Fusion? essay and the CBS 60 minutes Part I video link on Planet Forward.

We answered the question on RESEARCH: http://planetforward.org/question/what-theory-behavior-or-norm-are-you-or-your-team-researching-that-will-lead-to-an-improvement-in-how-we-generate-or-use-energy/

From their About page:

“Planet Forward Showcases Smart Ideas from Smart People… Online AND on TV.

Planet Forward is where experts and engaged citizens weigh in on energy, climate and sustainability. We’re looking for your innovative ideas, informed opinion and first-hand experience. We take the best ideas and feature them online and on TV.
Planet Forward is a project of the Center for Innovative Media at The George Washington University.

Planet Forward is partnered with the PBS Nightly Business Report where they have a regular segment profiling innovative science and technology.

From the How It Works page:

“How It Works Learn How to Make a Video

Do you have an Idea that should be featured on national television? Show us! If you are new to video production, here are a few tips to help you get started.

Submit an Idea, by answering one of our Questions. As our community comments, shares and rates your Idea, it will rise to the top and Make TV, as the best ideas from each season are featured in our webisodes, TV segments, or even in our PBS special that will air in April 2011, in the run up to Earth Day (link).

You can also just hang out and explore Ideas.

But, it all starts with a good Idea. So, make your case!”

You don’t have to register and login to post a comment to Cold Fusion Now’s answer. I need some help answering science questions! I wish I could edit what I wrote: like megajoules instead of megawatts.

To tell you the truth, I was thinking they wouldn’t publish it because the CBS 60 mins video clearly isn’t mine (nor is the idea of cold fusion for that matter!). But heck, they did! So they must find it interesting at the least AND cold fusion now has the opportunity to be profiled on PBS!!

But we need some more original videos, animations, and more talk on cold fusion, LENR, and the urgency to understand this science and develop new clean technologies.

Do you have a cold fusion video? Upload is easy as pasting a link. You do have to Register and Login though.

Let’s get this science profiled on PBS!

Energetics Technologies sets up shop in Missouri. A third political party is steps away from embracing the new energy movement. Cold fusion has more than a few heartbeats in Hollywood and is sneakin’ around the TV landscape.

Is this the feeling of “almost now“?

Green Party moves closer to support cold fusion

James Martinez, the only talk radio host regularly featuring interviews with cold fusion scientists has formally achieved another first: getting politicians to talk about cold fusion.

On the Thursday, Oct. 21 edition of Cash-flow, James interviewed Laura Wells, the Green Party candidate for Governor of California. [visit] She had recently been arrested trying to enter the candidate’s debate, from which all third party candidates are excluded, and with a ticket in hand, was escorted by armed men into a waiting vehicle. Outrageous indeed.

But, could the Green Party be the first third party to openly support cold fusion on their party platform, forcing the discussion of clean energy towards a viable alternative to the renewables?

Word has it that David Cobb, the 2004 Green Party presidential candidate is meeting in DC with some LENR scientists to be briefed on this technology. If he realizes the potential of this energy source and how it will completely change the paradigm of life in the 21rst century, as well as the opportunity it gives the Green Party in the U.S., then he will have to go back and convince the party members.

Suffice to say, Cold Fusion Now will be behind him all the way.
Cold Fusion Now will support any candidate willing to take a stand squarely in support of LENR research.
We would like to see all political parties support this desperately needed technology.

However, it’s clear. Green Party is moving closer to openly supporting cold fusion.
Here’s a clip from the Cash-flow show on Thursday, Oct. 21.

Cold fusion counter-argument with Crowley

A letter to which I subscribe, LeMetropole Cafe, publishes a daily quotation at the top of each communique. A few days ago, the quote was by Aleister Crowley.

“The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach..” …Aleister Crowley, author ( 1875-1947)

I thought about that and wondered whether Aleister was being sarcastic or was in fact sincere. I wanted to write to the editor MIDAS and tell him about the cold fusion experience, but got busy and didn’t.

The next day’s letter contained a response from a fellow subscriber regarding the “evil nature” of Aleister Crowley, and I was compelled to then respond to the content of the quote.

This is an excerpt of what I wrote to MIDAS published in today’s letter.

“The Quote of Crowley’s”

“Greetings MIDAS, Regarding the Aleister Crowley quote, I was actually going to write you on that, too, but not to say Aleister Crowley was an “evil guy”….

……regarding Mr. Crowley’s point on science: he was living at a time when science in the western world had entered the electric age. Quantum mechanics and relativity both shifted the institutions from which they arose as electric technology altered perceptions………

……..Twenty-one years ago, the discovery of a new kind of nuclear effect was effectively shut down by a newly empowered mass media and a scientific community that rushed to judgment when results didn’t fit the conventional paradigm. Since then, low-energy nuclear reactions, or cold fusion as it has been called, has been completely ignored by scientists organizations and the department of energy…….”

Well, I guess it’s pretty ridiculous to think Aleister Crowley to be sarcastic about science like that.

What’s funny is that I would even think he was joking.

Letter to the Secretary of Energy and others …

Last Sunday, at our 350.org 10/10/10 event, Cold Fusion Now engaged in direct action outreach in the streets. Talking to passersby about energy, we also collected 30 signatures for our letter to Energy Secretary Chu, Under-secretary Koonin, and Dr. Holdren of the President’s Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Here’s our letter, with signatures withheld. We are very excited about sending this letter with so many signatures in support of LENR research.

There is little more important than ending dependence on fossil fuels. Resource depletion, pollution, climate change, and companies like BP make it imperative we develop new ways to live.

Support a clean energy future. Write your letter to the Energy Secretary today!

Office of Science and Technology Policy
Attn: Dr. John Holdren
725 17th Street Room 5228
Washington, DC 20502
Email: askdrh@ostp.gov

U.S. Department of Energy
Attn: Under Secretary Steve Koonin
Attn: Secretary Steven Chu
1000 Independence Avenue SW

Email: The.Secretary@hq.doe.gov

Dear Sirs,

During the summer of 2010, out-of-the-box thinking operated in a fast-paced emergency where life and death hinged on every decision. We are grateful for your work on the BP catastrophe and we ask that you continue to generate innovative energy solutions for our future: fund basic research in low-energy nuclear reactions.

With a plentiful fuel derived from seawater that has the capacity provide all of Earth’s energy wants for millions of years, there is good reason to support this science. A source of energy that uses a fuel easily obtained would alleviate the dependence we have on foreign sources of oil. With no radioactive waste and no carbon emissions, power generated by LENR is the cleanest solution to deliver all the energy we need for building a new infrastructure for our future.

Further, this country needs a place for young scientists. Create jobs right now, along with a whole new dynamic and sustainable energy industry: fund a research and development program to study this new energy-producing effect and be the leader in creating innovative energy technologies.

The two decades of research is undeniable. The nuclear effect is real and conditions for reproducibility have accumulated. A new form of nuclear physics has been developing that needs support to continue to advance. Only your department and ARPA-E can fully implement the kind of dedicated effort needed for this new science. A five-year program starting at $20 million a year, with an average of $30 million a year for five years, would bring this research to the next phase.

That is a modest investment to make for something that has the potential to solve so many complex problems. Please give the past two decades of research due respect and an honest look. I am sure you will see that this research deserves support.

Thank you for your attention and best wishes in all your efforts to bring new energy technologies to good use.
Yours sincerely,

(Signatures follow)

We support research and development of energy from seawater and funding for new energy technologies that are non-polluting, non-radioactive, and plentiful for the whole world. Fund LENR research and create a whole new energy industry with jobs for young scientists and innovators to develop the generation of power production technologies.

New energy outreach: Success

The 10/10/10 Global Work Party happened all around the world, and Cold Fusion Now represented here in Eureka, CA. The forecast was Cold – and it was – raining, with a gusty Pacific breeze.

Still, we set-up at the downtown Gazebo with a table full of new energy info, initially covered from the rain.

A little droopy from the drizzle, but people saw us from down the block with this homemade banner.

These are some of the materials people looked at. Some people wrote down the names of the books and authors.

Cold fusion books and materials were on display.

Finally the rain stopped enough, and people came strolling by. We had about 35 people actively discussing energy issues and got 30 signatures for our letter to Energy Secretary Chu. Three people stopped to talk here, but only the young man signed the letter.

Talking with people about cold fusion — Cold Fusion Now talked with people about new energy from cold fusion in the streets.

We gave away “new energy starter kits” with some info on the basic physics of energy, a Cold Fusion Now sticker, and a few lucky (the most interested) got a free issue of Infinite-Energy compliments of Infinite-Energy.

I used diagrams to explain what deuterium was.

A diagram showing hydrogen and its isotopes helped people see the fuel of tomorrow.

People were overwhelmingly receptive and supportive. Everyone who stopped to speak with us is really ready for change. We had some wonderful conversations about energy, and the differences between types of nuclear power. I think this is an issue I will pursue further at future outreach events. People just are confused at what the word “nuclear” means.

People were excited at the possibilities of a clean energy future.

Cold Fusion Now did what they could today to communicate the importance of funding LENR research. And we look forward to more events where the focus is on real solutions to our energy crisis in the future. It wasn’t just about doin right, it was fun, too!
