Signs Of A Cold Fusion Hoax-or- That’s not cold fusion! That’s just a jar with a light bulb..

There’s been a lot of fuss on the internet lately about a new cold fusion invention in Europe. If the inventor is legit, he’ll be a multi-trillionair, which won’t mean much because the money will be worthless when our oil based economy collapses.  In fact he'll likely be excoriated for ruining the world economy, despite having brought prosperity for all.

However the more I read about E-CAT and Andrea Rossi, the more I suspect a masterfully well-crafted hoax.

Top Ten Signs of a cold fusion hoax:

1. It’s too good to be true.


2. Operates on no known laws of science, but violates several.


3. There’s a secret ingredient that can’t be publicly released because of a government plot, rule or conspiracy.


4. Unlimited power from common ingredients with no toxic waste. Carbon free!


5. Discovery made in some backwards country where they speak some devil’s tongue or squiggle language.


6. Confirmed in some other third-world country that has yet to adopt indoor plumbing.


7. We’re building a test plant in still a third third-world country. Wow. Greece. Nice.


8. The main ingredient appears to be hype.


9. “..but that’s not all! A byproduct of our reaction is metallic copper” which just happens to cost nearly as much as gold used to. Alchemy works. Just ask us.


10. Touted with religious fervor by your favorite conspiracy-theorist friend. That’s a dead give-away hoax right there.
    
    When I can buy a cold fusion box at Wal-Mart or Home Depot, hook it up to my house and cast off the power company’s wires, I’ll cheerfully, gleefully, happily eat my words.
