Eugene Franklin Mallove (June 9, 1947 – May 14, 2004) was a science writer, editor and publisher of the magazine Infinite Energy, founder of the non-profit New Energy Foundation, a strong proponent of cold fusion, and a supporter of research into that and related exploratory alternative energy topics, some of which are sometimes disparaged, for one reason or another, as "fringe science".- WikipediaMallove claims:
results were suppressed through an organized campaign of ridicule from mainstream physicists, including those studying controlled thermonuclear fusion, trying to protect their research and funding.
As I wrote in the previous post, there could have been a conflict of interest for Huizenga, the chief critic, and co chairman of the DOE committee that investigated "cold fusion" in the 1989-90 time period. So that charge may bear some weight. The other co chairman, according to Mallove, demanded- and got- some 'softer' language, so cold fusion could have an opportunity to stage a comeback.
