One of the most important discoveries of this century -- cold
fusion -- was summarily rejected by science and the media before
sufficient evidence had been accumulated to make a rational
judgment possible. Enough evidence is now available to show that
this rejection was wrong and that the discovery of a new source of
clean energy may help solve some serious problems currently facing
mankind. The book catalogues and evaluates this evidence and shows
why the initial reaction was driven more by self-interest than
fact. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to
understand the history and science behind the cold fusion
controversy. In addition to the technological importance of the
effect, the discovery of new ways to initiate nuclear reactions
without producing significant radiation reveals an entirely new
mechanism operating at the nuclear level in solid material. This
new mechanism has important implications for an understanding of
many other phenomena.
