If we accept the latest missive from Jed Rothwell as CF gospel we have
the following:

<< They know the fuel is water....  They know that the fuel contains >>
<< thousands of times more energy than gasoline....                  >>

<< They needed to do 200 experiments over 2 or 3 years, like McKubre.>>

Last time I heard anything about Mckubre's work it involved the use of
D2O with ordinary water serving as a blank that produced no heat.  Just
where are we, Jed, on the question of heavy vs. light water?  You site
McKubre's work as a prime example of careful and diligent experimenta-
tion, but what has been learned from those 200 experiments?  If you
want to use McKubre's results as a standard for CF research, how
can you jump ship on all the D2O experiments, and assert that "They
know the fuel is water."?

Then you return to your old challenge that "You must prove the heat
does not exist."  Wrong!  As has oft been stated the burden of proof
lies with you and other advocates of cold fusion.  We skeptics can
just sit back and watch you flounder about as you make your wild
assertions without any logical basis in fact.  "Heat" with no
apparent source is going to be a tough commodity to sell.  My
advice, as always, is that you will have to track down the source
before you attempt any development of cold fusion.  The idea that
water is a potential fuel has been tried before.  You will have to
do better.
