We want believable evidence and confirmation by a believable soure. You'll get just that soon enough. Be patient. I certainly consider the U.S. Navy to be a credible source. But, I understand skeptics concerns about legitimate scientific sources and reproducibility (those are legitimate concerns) for confirmation of cold fusion. If things pan out the way I expect them to, you'll have plenty of legitimate sources within the next two years. If the DOE gives cold fusion it's blessing, it will be front page news, and many many unversities will replicate the cold fusion experiment, only this time they'll have the right protocol to replicate it correctly (the 1989 fiasco will not repeat itself). Then, cold fusion will enter the scientific mainstream and the real research can begin in earnest. That is how I see things shaping up for cold fusion. I'm sure a few maverick scientists at major universities are going to jump the gun, upon reading about this DOE cold fusion review, and some of the other reports of increasing reproducibility, and try to see if they can replicate it themselves before the official word is out from the DOE. As a follower of alt.energy this is certainly an interesting time to be alive. :-)
