@Everyone:
A news article from PESN.com is heavily speculating that Rossi's first customer is none other than the U.S. Military.  If this is true, then my earlier posted guess that the U.S. Navy is the actual 1st customer is right on target. 

I posted some of the key excerpts from the article below:

"As usual, during the next few months politicians will make promises they do not intend to keep, flip flop on policy issues, attack each other, and do whatever it takes to get elected. Meanwhile, the ultra wealthy, elite power barons who control the mainstream media will do their best to blackout certain candidates (like Ron Paul). At the same time, they will promote other candidates that they know will abide by their wishes, and maintain the status quo -- of big government, constant warfare, fear mongering, and the printing of money from thin air by the Federal Reserve."

"What is going to be so uniquely interesting about this election cycle is that a truly exotic source of clean, cheap, safe, and pollution free energy has been discovered. In fact, this game changing breakthrough is already entering the market place, with the US military being the first customer. The technology is Andrea Rossi's E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer). Already, almost a year before the first votes are cast, E-Cat modules have been purchased by the US military, and are being further researched and developed. "

"We ought to push for a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to divulge definitively who the US Military customer is [which branch] so that we can escalate the dialogue and pressure on US politicians. If it can be proven that the US Military did indeed purchase 13 E-Cats, that would really put pressure on the politicians and on the media to bring this dialogue to the front."

"During the next several months as the 2012 election cycle meets cold fusion, the public needs to demand that politicians promote the rapid adoption of the technology. I think most politicians will support the technology. In my opinion they will be forced to, because they will not want to look like the candidate who wants to keep the economy in a slump, and keep energy prices high. But there is a possibility some candidates (especially those who like the status quo as it is right now) will announce totally made up "problems" with cold fusion. Any politician who claims there needs to be excessive safety testing, a slow and dragged out implementation, or continued subsidies to oil companies needs to be opposed, and voted out of office. In contrast, those politicians who support the fast implementation of the technology along with a freedom agenda that supports small government should be supported."

"Although there are other important issues that need to be addressed such as cutting spending, ending the FED, ending the drug war, lowering taxes, and restoring the Bill of Rights, supporting a transition from fossil fuels to cold fusion should be at the top of the priority list. There is too much at stake for our civilization to stay dependent on oil any longer."

"In addition to being powerful, the technology is completely safe. It uses no radioactive materials, produces no nuclear waste, emits no radioactivity into the environment, and releases no pollution. Unlike conventional nuclear reactors, E-Cat reactor cores cannot melt down. If the temperature of the core grows too high, the nickel powder melts and all of the reaction sites are destroyed, and the core becomes "dead" until new fuel is added."

It has suddenly ocurred to me just how disgusted I am at the Government here in the UK . In these difficult times , money is being wasted on a scale that beggars belief . Right here on my own doorstep , 4 million pounds is being spent on "refurbishing " the market place . Totally unnecessary , it was only done four years ago .And dont even get me started on the cost of the Olympics , or the fighting of unnecessary wars . Compared to that , what is the odd 2 million to buy an E-cat ? The really sick thing , is that we do not have to pay a penny until we have satisfied ourselves that it does what it says on the tin . Britain was once the workshop of the world . What hope for the furure ?

Hello neptune,

Indeed, there is absolutely no reason why this technology of Rossi's is not IMMEDIATELY applied EVERYWHERE.  Except that we're up against more than 200 years of history which has 'outlawed' precisely the results that Rossi is getting.  And there's no theoretical basis to allow for these results. 

It's as contentious as Galileo telling the entire world that they're wrong about the Earth being the pivotal axis of all that matters.  It's likely to generate a certain amount of disbelief and it's equally likely to upset everyone who made good money out of that 'belief'.  In effect, Rossi is about to wrest the authority of our monopolists away from those monopolists.  And they're RICH.  They can still throw good money into hampering this development.  But.  Fortunately.   'Excommunication' is no longer a problem.  Thank God for the internet.

There's a new world waiting guys and dolls.  We just need to walk through that 'opening door'. 

Nice to see you there Neptune.  All support much required.  This is a vulnerable technology.  They last thing it needs is anyone at all diminishing it's value.

Kindest regards,
Rosemary

@Everybody:
I agree with Rosemary and her take on the powers that be concerning ANY technology that threatens the deeply entrenched and powerful energy monopolists. 

I watched how the huge oil companies showed the same kind of strategy with the independent oil refineries.  They managed to drive them ALL out of business which made their monopolies even stronger while making gasoline even scarcer to drive up the prices (as if they were not high enough before).  They now have been turning (reporting) in RECORD profits for last 10 years in a row!  Even through this entire recession!  They obviously do not want to be replaced and they will not go quietly.     

They also have the strongest lobby in congress (just look at John McCain for one easy example) which keeps that door closed as well.

When we landed on the moon, the media was all over the story and it rode the headlines for several months after the fact.  This is even bigger than landing on the moon and it still isn't getting even a fraction of the coverage that the space story received. 

This is simply a nail we will have to just keep pounding away on until it does become mainstream reality.

It is ALL about LCOE and nothing else.
