This piece by Doug at Nanoscale views gives me deja vu: a la Ramar Pillai:
I think the part that frustrates me the most is the misperception by part of the public and some of the media that scientists want these alleged breakthroughs to fail. Nothing could be further from the truth! If someone discovered cheap, inexhaustible energy because of a remarkable revolutionary breakthrough, we’d love it – it’d be the most exciting time in science since the quantum revolution. The problem is, though, that keeping an open mind doesn’t mean lowering your scientific standards because you’d like to believe the result. I, for one, am not holding my breath about hydrino power.
Take a look!
