Oh, that it were true
I was a big fan of the cold fusion idea when it first surfaced, because there's nothing quite as cool as a little bubbling generator providing gobs of energy. Of course, everyone knows it didn't work out, right? As it turns out, there may have been something to cold fusion after all. Now it looks like there's an effect there, but the combination of finicky equipment and incomplete theory is making it difficult to figure out exactly what's happening and how to make it happen reliably.
I'm glad that someone had the guts to continue with the research even after it became taboo; it really would be nice to know that *something* really happened there.
