@Everyone:
I've been reading a little more about the politics in the mainstream scientific community which has been hampering LENR  research.
 
Here's an excerpt from a very insightful article which explains some of the "wrenches thrown into the gears" in an attempt to stifle, discourage and put a stop to current LENR research:

"The bad news is that there is still resistance to cold fusion from the scientific establishment. In another video Hagelstein revealed that he had convinced some executives at a major corporation in the United States to fund LENR research at MIT. The research would have been an attempt to duplicate some of Piantelli’s work.

Hagelstien said he got the money but an “important physicist at MIT blocked the research. To make matters worse the physicist called the vice president of the company funding the research and said what Hagelstein called impolite things. He said this got the funding stopped and that the executives who were interested in LENR were worried that they might lose their jobs. Hagelstein did not reveal the name of the company or the important physicist.

This is bad news because it shows how petty, closed minded and ignorant so called scientists can sometimes be. It also shows how
dangerous confining scientific research to large institutions subject to politics really is. It is easy for a few people that know how to work the system to stifle any progress that threatens their funding."

We need some serious hard core investigative journalist to go after a story like this.  Bring out all the details.  I think it would be a great story as it affects everyone in the world.  Expose idiots like this and maybe it'll make their pompous ass think twice before shutting down research like this again.

I absolutely agree.  If ONLY we could get a really well respected journalist to deal with this.  I confidently predict that the first journalist who does cover the LENR saga - will most certainly be up for every journalistic award going.  It's crying out for attention.

Kindest regards,

You obviously know nothing about who controls practically ALL media. Expect that "Hero" journalist to lose his job and get blacklisted the day he comes to office with his "glorious" story.

Tell us lol5535 - who controls nearly all media?  I've seen this statement many times but who really is in control?  And if they are why are whistleblower stories making it into the mainstream.  Also no one currently controls the Internet in most countries so if a well known top journalist publishes this info on the Internet then how will that make the mainstream media look?  It will then be obvious they are part of the problem.   At this point every one is concerned about energy prices.  It's on the news all the time and the mainstream news has even pointed their fingers at the commodities traders as being part of the problem with high oil and gas prices.  I think the mainstream news cannot afford to ignore a story like this.  As it is they are being challenged on the Internet everyday by much more open news web sites.
