I am sure Rossi is a fraud, because this is not how science is done. Science isn't done behind closed doors, outside of the literature, and in hidden chambers. Nobody has bought this kind of nonsense since the mechanical Turk. It doesn't matter what goes in, or what goes out- if there was any truth or decency to Rossi, then he would have properly published all of his findings in the most honest way possible.

But even beyond that, he is such an enormous asshole that I want him to be wrong. If he actually is right about all of his cold fusion claims, than he has kept what is both the solution to the world's energy problems and an enormous break through in applied nuclear physics from the world simply because he wants to capitalize on it in the most lucrative way possible.

Either the man is both a scientific fraud and unethical, or merely unethical.
