At our company we have introduced the idea of Technical Debt. It allows developers to put a price tag on "bad code that needs cleaning up" and we can better prioritize that against new features with stakeholders. It's a good first step...

LENR has been proven for the last 20 years in many many experiments. Rossi made headlines but he is in no way alone. If you dare to spend a little bit of time researching this you'll find lots and lots of evidence there is really something substantial behind it, even if it may not be explained by physicists. By the way, Rossis secrets are detailed in the two recent patents pusblished. It's all there.

Take a deep breath, accept that you don't know everything and then go here and read about LENR/cold fusion which is about to change the world:

Or just google it...

I don't get why people are so incredibly negative towards a report that shows something positive?

OK, I get that people are afraid of being fooled but why do you let that fear stop you from investigating this?

For me, I'm curious and I've done a lot of reading on this subject and it's very fascinating. If you are curious too, and not just afraid of being wrong, then I suggest you start by going to http://www.lenr-info.com/ and check out which companies, researchers and theories are related to LENR. (Not my web site). My favorite theory is Widom-Larsen, really worth checking out!

It's not like Andrea Rossi is alone in this... He may not even be first to market.
