Cold Fusion: Power
built 647 days ago
Looking back on the perspective from 1994, it seems as though cold fusion research lost significant momentum in the latter half of the last decade, though a revival now seems possible. In 1994, the research initiatives funded by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in the U.S. and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) in Japan inspired strong optimism. By the mid-1990's ... these programs folded, for what appeared to be a lack of significant progress.

If this were the case and cars could be run on totally clean safe cheap cold fusion instead of petrol everyone in the world would want a Ford, or a car powered by the Ford patented licenced technology. Surely this would lead to a multi billion dollar reversal in the company to make it absoute world leader. Now it might be Ford, or it could be a smaller company with the discovery that licences Ford to exploit the technology.

The reason why this is of more interest to nations than cold fusion is that cold fusion, if harnessed, seems to have the potential to power individual batteries or houses. Hot fusion? Get a reactor up and running and you could run a CITY.
