E-Cat's pajamas: Good-bye fracking

A Cold-Fusion Device  (Stevenkrivit)
Although fracking is touted as a contemporary solution to energy shortages, it is actually already outdated.

The (cold) wave of the red-hot future seems to be fusion. Sebastian Anthony of Extreme Tech describes a “device that purports to use cold fusion to generate massive amounts of cheap, green energy.” 

This E-Cat device, developed by Andrea Rossi, has already been verified by “six (reputable) researchers from Italy and Sweden.”

The E-Cat uses “hydrogen-loaded nickel,” plus additives such as lithium, as fuel.  Low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) are said to “fuse nickel and hydrogen atoms into copper, releasing oodles of energy.”

Just how much fuel is needed for this energy to be obtained?  Researchers have noted that just “1 gram of fuel” was inside the E-Cat that they observed.

With ratios like this, the E-Cat could potentially release “maybe a million times more energy than gasoline.”  Which would make the need for fossil fuels as dead as their prototype organisms…
