The role of Fred Thompson in yesterday's SC primary is as murky as his next step. Did he divide the religious vote and thereby hand Huckabee a loss? Or would those votes, had he not been there, have gone elsewhere? My instinct is that more of those votes would have gone to Romney or McCain than to Huckabee. Fred comes across to me as the thinking person's conservative: thoughtful on positions, a sense of history, a Federalist, serious about the war on terror and prepared to take the long view on it. His addresses have content, not sound bites - which may, unfortunately, be a drawback in 2008.

To summarize, cold fusion was replicated in dozens of world-class laboratories, including Los Alamos and several U.S. national laboratories. Hundreds of papers were published about these replications in mainstream, peer-reviewed journals. Our site features a list of 3,500 papers and the full text from over 500 papers.
Despite this track record of success, skeptics hostile toward cold fusion claim that the effect was never replicated, and they often publish ad hominem attacks against the researchers, especially in the Washington Post, Time magazine, the Scientific American and other U.S. publications. Opposition is less strident in other nations. In the U.S. researchers have demoted or summarily fired for publishing positive results, or for discussing or advocating this research. In the most recent incident, a U.S. Congressman is harassing a researcher for publishing a positive result and for allegedly helping another researcher replicate. (The other research denies this, and there is no evidence that it happened, but the Congressman has demanded "any and all" paperwork about the research.)
