Although no evidence of cold fusion or the like has yet been presented, it is hard not to remain hopeful in these times. Rossi might be up to a scam, but slight endorsements (if it's not a hoax) by Professor Kullander (member of Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences) and Professor Essen (former chairman of the Swedish Skeptics Society) and the footage and test data available online holds some credibility I think. Best of all, in my point of view, is that he approached the problem like an engineer trying to get a working product out there, not as a researcher just trying to understand what's going on.
Time will tell of course, but if this is for real our environment/energy problems are but a memory. And Hello Electric Car!
