Hydrogen fusion keeps the Sun and stars burning and powers our most deadly weapons. Fusion energy, if we could find a way to release it on a small scale, would supply mankind's requirements for millions of years. But, despite the expenditure of billions of dollars, controllable fusion remains a dream, except in the minds of a few isolated experimenters and their ardent fans. In this talk Tom Napier explains why physicists are skeptical of 'cold fusion' and questions whether two old guys in Bologna can put the oil companies out of business before the end of 2012. Tom Napier trained as a physicist in Scotland. He has worked for an English university and two European research organizations. He moved to the USA in 1981 where he developed equipment for scientific research and spacecraft communications. He has been a free-lance writer since 1996 and a member of the Council of PhACT since its foundation in 1994.
