Philippine heavy water awaits exploration
I was watching a cable television broadcast recently. Then, all of a sudden something caught my attention. A certain Mr. Martin Fleischmann, an electrochemist with the California-based SRI International, was being interviewed on the boob tube concerning his discovery of cold fusion, sometimes referred to as "low energy nuclear reaction (LENR)." According to Wikipedia, cold fusion came to the spotlight on March 23, 1989, when two scientists--Fleischmann and Stanley Pons--stumbled on a scientific process that would produce nuclear fusion, involving electrolysis of heavy water on a palladium electrode. The real beauty of it was that it could possibly be used to produce enormous cheap energy that could fuel many industries worldwide through the use of "excess heat." The world, especially the developing countries, are hard up on how to cope with the impacts of fluctuating oil prices in the international markets. Alone, the high costs of fuel to run industries are exactin...
