Where is James Randi when you need him to set these deluded scientists
straight? This event is at William and Mary College. They've been
infected. Call out the brain police before the disease of actually
doing honest experiments spreads. There should be a law for even
thinking about things which violate scientific theories. Until we can
get a law passed, we will have to be content with mocking them,
discrediting them through "common sense," ruining careers, waging a
media war, and just plain lying. Of course this is all being done in
the public interest and guys like Randi never make a dime. Send money
now to JREF, to help save the world.

Summary
Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) offer the prospect of clean,
inexpensive, limitless, nonfossil renewable energy. The symposium will
review LENR's current theoretical and experimental status, including
updating recent results. Expert panel discussions will evaluate the
present state of the art and define future directions, including
establishment of criteria for creating university-based, state-of-the-
art LENR research and development centers.

In the video the link goes to Randi explains how he and Carl Sagan
came to the conclusion that Fleischman and Pons had nothing. Case
closed on cold fusion in 1989. Notice how Randi (and according to
Randi, Sagan) used reason, the scientific method, and, did a serious
investigation, before dismissing Fleischman and Pons as junk science!
It's a good thing they participated in a media campaign, and that
there was such a campaign to shut down nearly all research in this
field. Who knows where we would be now if serious time and money had
been spent on this rubbish?
Enjoy the video and get a good indoctrination, um I mean uh,
education.

By the way, I did notice that MFA no longer has a link to JREF. When
Martin kept writing that MFA was an educational organization I looked
through the pages.

Hi y'all - I don't think LENR claims paranormal assistance so this should be outside of Randi's realm. If LENR claims supernatural power then I'm a teeny bit more skeptical of it.
