The Next Chapter in Cold Fusion

Once again, cold fusion is in the news. We hope this innovation is true and gets to see the light of day for the benefit of humanity where others have not. Stay tuned.

Italian inventor, Andrea Rossi has conducted what some are saying is a successful small test of the Holy Grail of energy production – cold fusion, a low-energy nuclear reaction that could theoretically produce endless, self-sustaining and incredibly cheap energy. Rossi tested his energy catalyzer that he calls the E-Cat for an unnamed U.S. company and claims it produced about as much energy as 70 gallons of gasoline over a period of 5 hours. There’s plenty of mystery and skepticism surrounding Rossi’s cold fusion test, but he says the “E-Cat is going into mass production soon.”

Recalibrating Priorities: Just Because We Can Doesn’t Mean We Should

By Peter Oldfield, NPD Associate Editor

Recent public debate has rightly and at last asked questions about the formerly sacrosanct realms that drive our scientific and technological pursuits in the realm of astrophysics.

Witness the desire to laser-illumine a point near the center of the Milky Way. This extravagant program, one that happens to be under the aegis of the European Southern Observatory (ESO), supports other international astrophysical consortiums with the same questionable academic prerogatives they’ve all been trotting out for sixty years or more, and now well into the post-modern era.

They appear to be holding an entranced world to ransom, as it were; and it is happening right now in the pristine Atacama Desert of coastal Chile, right in the lap of a deprived local populace.

It is clearly a question of priorities as, contrary to popular sentiment, the ‘wow technologies’ have caused us to lose sight of a more human reality. These costly ventures need to be entirely relegated to their proper place, i.e. of lesser importance than the well-being of every last child in the human family.

You can GoogleEarth the coordinates: 24º 37′ 38″ S, 70º 24′ 15″ W and see this extravagance in broad daylight – and notice the curious structure in the top left hand corner of this picture!

A foot-note:

Why do I use the word ‘enchantment’?

Because it carries that slightly benign implication found in ‘fairyland’, and that, after all, is where we’ve been taken. It prepares us then to contemplate, with kindness toward ourselves, the question “What was our part in this?” And as good an answer as any might be “We fell asleep”.

Now at last we are awakening together to the possibility that our civilizational hubris, a kind of ‘shadow’, in the early Jungian sense, that chose to sacrifice human well-being and our deeper connectedness to the matrix of nature, over the altar of a techno-scientific vision, has not simply faltered but has rather, in Titanic fashion, now hit the ice-berg of complete self-deception.

A desire for transcendence no doubt arises in the hearts and minds of all human collectivities, but we must now ask whether we have confused suitable means for attaining that higher goal.

Confidence in the vision has been building up over centuries of Eurocentric power and expansion. Indeed one can trace it back to that peculiarly western story of Gilgamesh and his doomed empire. It has it’s fullest expression in the current imperial prerogatives assumed by our own leadership.

One cannot help noticing that the most visible and fully constellated image in the American mythos is “The Wizard of Oz”.

Clearly the curtain is about to be drawn on the deceptive techno-wizardry that so completely swept Dorothy and her friends along as they faithfully followed the yellow brick path!

David Adair’s Magnetic Fusion Engine and Area 51

David Adair was a boy genius working with quantum physics at age 7 whose story sheds light on our government’s top secret activities around advanced space technology, Groom Lake where Area 51 operates to this day and his experience there with a symbiotic engine and light speed propulsion system and later, his encounter with Stephen Hawking who verified his calculations after David made corrections to Hawking’s formulas.

Bringing Light to the World

“Energy justice is about applying the basic principles of fairness to the injustice being suffered by people without access to life-sustaining energy,” says Lakshman Guruswamy, the professor of international environmental law at the University of Colorado at Boulder’s School of Law who coined the term. While developed nations have progressed by burning fossil fuels, the energy poor lack that resource and have suffered economically as a result. The solution, according to Guruswamy: Get people the energy they need to spur economic growth and improve health, both their own and that of the environment. “We’re concentrating on the bottom third of the pyramid,” he says, “the over 2 billion people who are trapped in an energy time warp.”
