Investigations of such effects should be publicly supported. A new kind of nuclear phenomena, if real, can lead to unexpected practical applications. The cost of CMNS research, at this stage, is relatively negligible. Most CMNS experts will no longer be available in a decade or two; the time to act is now! “
3) And here is a comment made by Storms:
“As an active researcher in the field of cold fusion for the last 20 years, I can attest to the reality of the effect, its potential as an ideal source of energy, and the difficulty in understanding how the effect can be made to occur. The large amount of accumulated experience demonstrates that the effect is real and is a source of energy resulting from various nuclear reactions. However, the effect is not yet understood at a level that makes a practical device possible or can convince certain skeptics that the effect is actually real. Nevertheless, the critical need for such a clean and sustainable energy source and the need for economic stimulus based on a new technology makes a reexamination of this controversial effect essential, regardless of how unlikely it may seem to a few people. The time for debate is past. We now need to get to work on new energy sources regardless of how unrealistic they may seem to be.”
4) Fortunately, hardware and technical support, needed to replicate experiments described by CMNS researchers, is available in existing National Laboratories. The total cost of replication of one or two selected experiments can probably be as low one million dollars. That kind of money can be generated with the existing scientific budget. Will such sum be allocated to either validate or refute one or two claims made by highly qualified researchers? This remains to be seen. What we do not need is another Department of Energy panel vote; we need a panel of experts ready to perform experiments, together with still available CMNS experts.
