Rethinking Alternative Energy

Cold Fusion, initially “discovered” in 1989 by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, was heavily publicized and announced amid much hype and fanfare. The excitement quickly died down however, primarily due to problems many scientists had replicating the experiments as well as the exaggerated manner in which it was announced.

In 2000 however, renowned author Sir Arthur C. Clarke urged for cold fusion research and experiments to again be considered seriously among the scientific community, due to promising experimental results from a number of institutions. As it turns out, cold fusion was not as completely forgotten as it first seemed.
Among some of those still supporting cold fusion research is the U.S. Department of Defense, the French and Italian governments, as well as a handful of small private investors (venture capital firms in particular). Most major recent research in cold fusion has taken place either in the south of France at a research laboratory partially sponsored Toyota or at SRI International in northern California.

Another often overlooked alternative energy method is geothermal energy.
