@Everyone:
I urge everyone to sign this petition in support of LENR/cold fussion if you reside in the U.S.  This petition will help our voices be heard as an organized effort which can not be ignored any longer. 

Here's the link:

Please feel free to scroll down the page and read every single comment left in the comment section.  I enjoyed them immensely.


Thank you in advance for your support,

Chess
P.S.  The following is a current update on the signature gathering:
As of 06/10/2012 this is only 22 local signatures away from going national.
This is among the safest, cleanest, and most powerful energy resources that has been proven to be as or more productive than coal, and nuclear fission; which is more commonly known. Other technologies based on science fiction stories like the various Star Trek television series from the 1960′s through recent series, offer multiple ideas that need to be officially explored further. Use of this energy source has the potential of replacing oil, coal, and natural gas use worldwide. The nation that does this first would likely reduce foreign dependence by 100%, erase it’s own and most other nations trade debts and retain all funds used towards purchasing foreign energy resources. The conservative powers that currently exist and the energy corporations that want to hold onto their dominance are fighting this in every way possible.

@Everyone:
I came across the following text regarding Rossi's products while reading through some anonymous comments to an article:

"The best analogy is refrigeration.  Until 1928 refrigeration in the west was accomplished by the ice box â€" serviced by the Ice Man.  Once or twice a week the Ice Man would deliver ice to your ice box to keep your food fresh.  In 1928 the first home Refrigerator went on sale. It revolutionized food storage.  In a matter of ten years Refrigerator sales quadrupled and ice boxes faded away.  As did the Ice Man â€" equivalent to your central electric Utility company.

We don’t need a centralized ice house or Ice Man when we can make our own ice at home.  Same with electricity.  LENR is the new refrigerator.  Little more than a new home appliance sitting in your basement or utility closet.  It makes heat for your hot water, and power for your lights and flat screen… It’s not rocket science."

I like the sentiment

This is something that have upset me all the way back since I first read about the invention by Andrea Rossi.

It is my deep conviction that Andrea Rossis' or anyones elses attempt to patent a COP>1 system is basically unethical.
The very idea of patenting free energy is absurd.

I would like to emphasize the importance of any COP>1 systems to always be open source.

It is a crime against humanity to restrict anything that is accessible in abundance for everyone to share and use.

LENR is a double edged sword seen from the perspective of the present monetary and political system. It will be extremely difficult to keep the present power structure and elitiscism intact when presenting a technology that in the long run will move towards the individual, leaving the present elite without its traditional means of an upper hand.

The elite won't easily let go of the advantage of being in charge of the social, economic and political structure of mankind.
To reinforce this sovereignty the present ladder system of upward oriented advantage system is making it beneficial for the individual to maintain and secure the continuance of this system. And since the increase engine of the present monetary system is upward oriented, the power are increasing exponentially the higher up the ladder you get.

As a result there are only a few percent with the main power mandate to decide the design of of the human social structure.
This intricate ladder system reverbrates all the way down to you and I, who likewise maintain the stucture by keeping a firm grip on the level of advancement we presently have achieved.

Only the base of the social-economic-political pyramide have nothing to lose, but as mainly being the least educated and intellectually trained members of the society, they have few ways to execute any effective changes.

The guys in charge on this planet are well aware of the threat to their positions that any energy system like LENR might be, so they are most likely right now planning how to deal with this threat to their sovereignty. Since it becomes more obvious for every month that passes that LENR is here to stay, they will soon engage with all their resources to incorporate LENR into the present power structure.

If they succeed, free energy like LENR will just replace the dirty fission heaters at the nuclear plants and the increase rate of your electricity bill won't deviate much from your present situation.

This would be unfair beyond comprehension. Through LENR there is enough energy for everyone to use for whatever purpose we want.
LENR holds within itself the key to total freedom for every man and woman on earth.

LENR has the power to change the world, giving us back our birthright of freedom and integrity, decentralising the infrastructure to the benefit for personal self realization. But we wont get this free energy for free as long as we passively accept to be slaves to the system.

We are standing at an unparallelled threshold in human history, and not many people seem to grasp the magnitude of the fork ahead on the road.


And it cannot be said too many times:

To patent and restrict the access of an innovation like LENR or any COP>1 technology is a crime against humanity, since if there are no limits to the amounts of accessible energy,
it self evidently belongs to us all.

No offense, but your main point is a common theme that we have all read many times.  Personally I don't believe it.  If you want to believe in the Capitalist system, then you can set up your own power company using E-Cats for generation.  Then you give a choice to the consumers of power.  Assuming that you can sell electricity at lower rates, then you get the business.

Let's guess that 90% of the economy are energy consumers and 10% of the economy are energy producers.  So the 90% is more powerful than the 10% and the 90% will dictate where the market goes.

Lots of small hydro generating plants are already pumping power into the grid, it's been around for a few decades.

There is a narrative that underlies the whole realm of free energy and it's almost the same as an urban legend.  It has 'cachet' and plays perfectly into the subculture.  So in my opinion there is a mutual hypnotize-off going on.  If you are swimming in a fishbowl and you have only known murky water, then you don't know that you are swimming in murky water.  The murky water is the belief in the all-powerful oligarchy that will snuff out any free energy technology that comes around.  The con artists out there are all keenly aware of this and they hold their "MIB" card in reserve and play it when they have to with high confidence.

Sterling Allen is reporting that Magnacoaster has finally started filling their three-year backlog of orders where most people paid 50% or 100% cash up front.  Sterling talked to some American-born mysterious Indian guru type guy so it must be true.  So what's the deal going to be in three months when there isn't a single report of a functioning Magnacoaster setup anywhere in the world?  Of course we already know the answer, don't we?  The Men in Black will get them and threaten Richard!  If you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man, he saw it too!

If you can sell cheaper power to a factory owner and you can give them the same up-time as the big power companies, then they will take you up on the offer.

Finally, not to beat a horse to death, but it's not free energy at all.  It's allegedly a new form of atomic energy that has been under our noses for a while and we have finally discovered it.  I think that it's a great disservice to all of the readers to call this free energy.

What this ultimately means is that prices for everything should start to fall and keep falling for quite some time.  It could mean a 20-hour work week because the efficiency of the economy could skyrocket.  Somewhere down the line perhaps even Jetson's flying cars.

MileHigh

MileHigh,

Since in reality there are no closed systems, per definition everything is free energy.

The COP value is simply defined by the efficiency we have attained in using whatever energy source, or more clearly, defined by our limited knowledge.
Even an ordinary electrical generator is far above COP>1, with excess energy dissipating at the dipoles, and the sum energy created far exceeding the input shaft torque.

The idea of the torque behind the generator shaft being the actual energy source for the electricity generated are one of the greatest misconceptions of contemporary science.
The rotation of the shaft just created the correct electromagnetic differential to tap the void of electricity, a void that is abundant with energy.
This is why mankind has to redefine the second law of thermodynamics, since the concept of a closed system is an illusion.

So as far as I and all those guys thinking in the lines of Tom Bearden are concerned, everything is free energy, it just depends on our ability to tap it.
So anything with a COP>1 is free energy in action. Even simple sources like wind power and solar power is are good examples of free energy. In fact,
there is no difference at all in definition between tapping the energy from the sun and tapping the zero point energy between planck scale Casimir plates.

And remember, there are no closed systems. Everything is connected. We are all one.
