For example, do you know, cold fusion researchers have published ~3,500 papers, including ~1,200 in mainstream peer-reviewed journals. You can find the bibliography and ~1,000 full full text papers at http://lenr-canr.org. Comparing cold fusion to plasma fusion: cold has produced 300 MJ in a single run; plasma fusion 6 MJ. Cold fusion has achieved fully ignited, self sustaining reactions that continue for days; plasma fusion has never produced more output than input. Cold fusion is far closer to becoming a practical source of energy.

Now the best one: most of mainstream physicists are believing, could fusion cannot become viable source of energy. As such they're ignoring, if not blocking cold fusion research for more then twenty years.

Conformists may kill civilizations Lack of original ideas leaves societies vulnerable to environmental upheaval, model suggests.
