A critical look at ECat

I found this LENR blog with a reference to a posting that is highly critical of Andrea Rossi's claims
about ECat.

I should have looked at this source before getting excited about it, I guess; looks pretty damning.

The Nickel Hydrogen fusion process is real and reproducible, labs and experimenters have published scientific papers that back this up, but Rossi's claims of very high energy output have the skeptics up in arms. Rossi is up to something though, if he really has something new, we will know within a year for sure, maybe sooner if he is actually selling working units. Too soon to know for sure, avoid making public statements that later will be found to be wrong. But know that this tech is emerging now, question is, does this Rossi fellow have the genuine goods? I am telling my friends that I am watching the issue closely, and I will let them know when the facts come out.

Agreed ... I'm on the edge of my seat. I just thought the skeptic's blog posting looked compelling from a brief scan ... though (a) I'm a software geek and not a physicist and (b) if there's some unknown process going at lower energy than standard theory predicts then of course less shielding could be used than the skeptic would expect can be used ...

We'll see!
