Enough evidence is now available to show that this rejection was wrong and that the discovery of a new source of clean energy may help solve some serious problems currently facing mankind. The book catalogues and evaluates this evidence and shows why the initial reaction was driven more by self-interest than fact. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the history an 606 $aCold fusion 606 $aCold fusion$xResearch$xHistory 615 0$aCold fusion. 615 0$aCold fusion$xResearch$xHistory. 676 $a539.764 700 $aStorms$b Edmund$01499241 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784789803321 996 $aThe science of low energy nuclear reaction$93725130 997 $aUNINA
