As regarding Rossi's bad PR he is just following Pitigrilli's "Do not
give me advices, I can err myself" The lack of a theory is disturbing,
his method of scale-up is strange, but he answers patiently to
hundreds of questions of diverse levels of IQ and good/ill-will. Put
yourself in his place. What could be an optimal strategy for him?
1. Stop responding to all those hundreds of messages. His responses
confuse the issue. They contradict one another. In some cases they are
flat out factually wrong.
2. Hire the best patent firm money can buy. Have them write a
bullet-proof patent. The ones Rossi himself writes are ridiculous and
would never withstand a challenge.
3. Make 2 or 3 machine and put them in major corporations and labs such
as the NRL, which has a test-bed facility designed for a machine of this
size and scale. (They described it at ICCF-16.) Have the corporations
and the NRL write authoritative reports describing their verification
procedures.
4. Have some national labs verify the transmutations.
5. Take the reports and transmutation data to the Patent Office. They
will have no choice but to grant the patent. That is what experts in
patents have told me.
6. License the technology to any corporation on earth that wants to
build it. Let the corporations, regulators, and governments handle the
details.
7. Sit back and count the money. Don't worry about opposition or public
relations; the corporations that want to manufacture the machine will
take care of it. Don't worry about a thing -- just count the money.
Let me summarize the difference in scale and intent between Rossi's
business plans and what I propose. Rossi plans to cross the channel from
England to France with a dozen of his friends for a day-trip picnic at
the shore. I propose the D-Day Normandy Invasion. Rossi's plans will
fail, for several reasons, such as the fact that you cannot install a
nuclear reactor that works for unknown reasons, and the fact that many
powerful forces ranging from the APS, the DoE and the fossil fuel
industry will be determined to crush him. My plans will succeed because
I propose to bring much the power of the establishment to his side, in
an alliance working in his favor. Rossi and that small company in Greece
alone have no chance of defeating Exxon Mobile. Rossi plus Mitsubishi,
General Electric and the People's Republic of China will go through
Exxon Mobile like shit through a goose.
My plan has many advantages to making a 1 MW reactor. It will be much
faster. His plan will take decades to have a minor effect; mine would
bankrupt the fossil fuel industry in a decade. My plan is far cheaper
for him to implement. It cannot accidentally irradiate and kill hundreds
of residents of Florida (possibly thousands). It will earn him orders of
magnitude more money -- assuming his present plans make any money at
all, which seems unlikely to me. It is the conventional, tried-and-true
way to make money with intellectual property.
