As in: "The idea of cold fusion is bolonga" or "Oh, bologna! There is no way you could do a push up in space."

What's wrong with Bologna?
The word is only used disparagingly in some parts of the world, so you may not know it. In other places, people might say instead "What a load of Baloney". The meaning is the same.

The entire E-Cat device is a hoax. Here is a good block, debunking their claims: http://blog.newenergytimes.com/

These self-proclaimed skeptics are equally annoying as their fringe engineering counterparts.

When this thread popped up I did a bit of reading on the subject. My gut reaction was(is) that it's likely a scam, however even the small chance that it could be real is very interesting. Now that it's about a month later I did some more searching and it looks like things are progressing: http://energycatalyzer3.com/What do you guys think about the new developments? Is that site a scam? Are others seeing potential in spinning off the same scam? Looks like the meet up in MIT might be real but didn't dig around very much at all.

I'm following this (and have been for a year or two) because it would invoke a big paradigm shift in electricity generation and transmission (part of my day job). What is interesting is that there is a large body of scientific work out there that appears to produce excess heat, but the mechanics (physics/chemistry) of it are not understood, so it does not get credit. There are some parameters that need to be brought together precisely, and that's hard to do. The other invention sometimes quoted is the incandescent light bulb - I understand Edison took 9000 experiments to get something unexpected to work, and that it was very much left-field and almost bankrupted him in the process.
So, back to watching Rossi and the Greek outfit compete, along with NASA boffins, DoE and others.

Time to use my necro-threading powers... Due to Rossi and Leonardo suing Industrial Heat, for breach of contract, we can now access very important information. The customer was Industrial Heat, who paid 1.5 million $ for the experimental 1MW plant and later another 10 million, after validation tests, and for the actual License of the IP related to the E-cat. The rest of 89 million $ should have been paid by IH after the 350 days of performance and endurance evaluation of the 1MW plant. This 350 days test concluded with the impressive result of a COP > 50, according to Rossi, the report should be published soon. But IH refused to pay the 89 million $. http://www.e-catworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Leonardosuit01-main.pdfhttp://www.sifferkoll.se/sifferkoll/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Rossi_et_al_v_Darden_et_al__flsdce-16-21199__0001.2.pdfhttp://www.sifferkoll.se/sifferkoll/lenr-energy-blackswan-revolution-is-a-fact-ecat-at-cop-50-for-350-days/

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish
