This report is excellent. It is amazing how quickly they got to the
heart of the matter. See:

In common with other major industrial accidents such as Three Mile
Island, this was fundamentally caused by incompetence and by an
unfortunate combination of factors. (Three Mile Island was blamed on
the operators, but the real incompetence was in the design and
Federal Gov't oversight, in my opinion.)
This has again triggered a series of soul searching articles in the
mass media questioning whether we can afford fossil fuels, and
advocating alternative energy. Unfortunately, I cannot get any of the
authors, commentators or pundits to look at cold fusion.
