April 21, 1999: Cold Fusion & Oil Company Coverup - Dr. Eugene Mallove
Published 1 year, 9 months ago
Description
Guest host Hilly Rose welcomes Dr. Eugene Mallove, editor of Infinite Energy magazine and MIT-trained engineer, to discuss the suppressed science of cold fusion ten years after the landmark Pons and Fleischmann announcement. Mallove explains how the two electrochemists demonstrated excess heat from a simple electrochemical cell using heavy water and palladium, only to be ridiculed and driven from the scientific establishment by hostile physicists who dismissed the results without proper investigation.
Mallove reveals that a Department of Energy panel stacked with skeptics produced a negative report that discouraged even oil companies like Amoco from pursuing research despite their own positive results. He describes how MIT researchers allegedly altered their own data to show null results, and how the institutional bias of the academic-government complex has blocked progress for a decade. Multiple private companies, including Clean Energy Technologies and Blacklight Power, have since confirmed excess heat production.
The discussion covers recent breakthroughs by Dr. Les Case involving catalytic fusion that produces measurable helium, the nuclear byproduct skeptics had long demanded as proof. Mallove argues that cold fusion could eliminate fossil fuel dependency entirely, noting that one cubic mile of ocean contains enough fusion fuel to equal all known oil reserves on Earth.
