Climate change IS undeniable. (that is the nature of a dynamic system, the earth, the universe, is a dynamic system. Change is its signature, their trajectories are not static)

What is in dispute is whether it is human caused climate change, that is the old way that this debate was framed, now it is not. Why?

Which is not to say that we should not be working towards more efficient and cleaner ways of doing things, which by the way America is a leader in. The semantics game that is being played is interesting to watch, I see it as more of a way to paint a picture in order to control.

Apparently the new energy secretary has not read the article: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/new-energy-secretary-climate-change-i-m-not-here-debate-what-s-not-debatable

To answer my own question, apparently they’re claiming they get ~65MWh/kg. So yeah, no problem being profitable, if it works.

It’s not producing more power than could be pulled from a power plug, and the investigators have been prohibited from unplugging it. That’s pretty shifty.

My personal opinion is that I wouldn’t care what anyone thought if I had such a device as Rossi’s claims E-Cat to be. I’d be setting up a “factory” where I claim to be making “solar panels” with a new process that uses a whole lot of nickel, to build my own solar farm, when actually my solar farm is nothing more than shade cloth and I’m actually generating power by turning nickel into copper. Also, I’d be selling copper.

Wait a minute! Nickel $6.73/lb. Copper $3.31/lb. Wholesale electricity $34/MWh. So even if this thing can turn 1 lb of nickel into 1 lb of copper, it needs to make at least 1 kWh of power doing so.

You might have noticed that I rewrote the headline, taking out the reference to “global cooling”, as we really don’t know if that is happening either.

I think we can agree that if it is what it is advertised to be the implications are both wonderful and terrifying, depending on your view. I look forward to you coming to a conclusion and posting on the subject, maybe Rossi would be interested in you viewing a demonstration.

I’ve read these new reports and was very tempted to post. However, I am very much bothered by the inability of independent researchers to study the innards of the E-Cat. I realize that proprietary rights sometimes rule, but there is a thing called a contract that could protect Rossi’s rights while allowing independent researchers full access. That he has not allowed this leaves me suspicious.

You can find some information at a site PESN.com who looks at a bunch of different “technologies”, the E-Cat seems to be the most demonstrable of them all and it appears that it will be available to the public in the near future. (barring any unfortunate misplacing of the plans and the continued good health of Mr. Rossi. We all know how dangerous the world can be.)

The debate about whether or not Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat technology really works should be quieting now, with a very readable, definitive third-party test report having been released today, stating that at the most conservative, the Hot-Cat technology showed at least a ten-fold increase in power density over what could possibly have been ascribed to any presently-known chemical processes.

The long-awaited, third-party report on the E-Cat is a single report, but the report offers two independent studies carried out in December 13-17, 2012 and March 18-23, 2013 in Andrea Rossi’s premises in the city of Ferrara in Italy, without the inventor’s involvement.
