Ahh, Jed,

I wish, like you, that I could beleive in cold fusion. It would certainly end our energy problems once and for all. I got a bit excited when, recently, another couple of guys said they came up with another mechanism (sound waves) that might cause cold fusion-like effects. But, it seems like another dead end.

Unlike you, I am losing my faith in miracles.

But, here's a prediction. In 10 years, cold fusion will still be where it is today--generating zero watts of commercial power.

Here is another one. In 20 years, it will be generating zero watts.

And so forth.
