An article over at extremetech:

"Cold fusion reactor verified by third-party researchers, seems to have 1 million times the energy density of gasoline"
Edit: Please read the report before calling me an idiot.

Also, oil price is down 3% today and and it will go down even further. Once the av. price of gas in the US goes <$2.90 you will have to thank this tech for it

I did read it, and I still think you're an idiot (not least of which is because you keep acting like you're right when you don't know jackshit about any of this).
These are the same researchers that got to study it before, they just changed some things (Rossi has a different version now, and they tested it at a different site). Absolutely the study is better but there's still way too much BS involved.
Not only that but their conclusions contradict themselves. They claim it's clear that nuclear change happened, but have no proof other than their fuel analysis before and after showing different composition. The problem with this is that if nuclear reactions that would cause these changes in composition occurred, then radiation is one of the byproducts of it (there was a blog I linked earlier that explained that in order for the chemical reactions to make the "observed" changes occur radiation is absolutely a byproduct of it), yet they couldn't measure
any. Even if they somehow overcame some of the other physics that also cast doubt over this, there's just no way around the fact that they are not getting the output that they would have to be getting (radiation) in order for this to be true.
There's several other problems with the test, but by far that is the most damning. If the nuclear reaction they claim this test proves occurred, there would be measurable radiation from the fuel, yet they did not find any and have no explanation. Couple that with Rossi being the person that both added and removed the alleged fuel, well sorry, but this is the same BS from before.
Other issues are the fact that they did not actually test the dummy reactor the same as the "live" one, but they conclude that they did it enough to use it as a control, which I personally don't agree with. Their reasoning for this is that it could damage parts of the device and they wouldn't have any other on hand to test instead. That's awfully fishy.
You want my guess on what this device really is? I think Rossi has a tiny amount of typical nuclear fuel inside of it and has a circuit setup so that when sufficient electricity is pumped through it, it exposes the fuel to something that enables a thermoelectric response like a peltier which converts the heat to electricity which is why the device heats up and also outputs electricity. Most of the device is just shielding the actually nuclear material and then the peltier. I think he already has the "spent" fuel that he gave them to test inside of it, and so that's why when they measured it they see the difference they do, while he leaves the original fuel inside of it (thus fooling their mass measurement).
Something in particular to note is how that blog I linked to before mentioned how the copper in used fuel was a telltale sign of it being a scam, and this time there's no copper at all.
Here's the link to the blog I mentioned:

Oil is down. Oil speculators are jumping the ship because of the Ecat...
Posts like this are exactly why people keep calling you an idiot. Oil prices don't have anything to do with this device, there's several reasons for the prices dropping. But hey, don't pay any attention to most information or have any idea what you're actually talking about (that's why you'll always be an idiot about this, even if Rossi's device works you won't understand anything involved in how/why it does while pretending that you were right all along even though you haven't actually been able to discuss this for jackshit the entire time).
I would bet that he's not an idiot.
He's the CEO of firm with a lot of very bright people handling billions of $'s. I'm also willing to bet he has access to some of the best scientists in the fields he needs to evaluate this tech.
And unless you have a source I haven't found you seem to be making a lot of assumptions about how the deal to acquire the technology is structured. Personally, I seriously doubt it was a simple swap for outright cash.
However, none of that really speaks to the validity of the tech. Instead, the significance of his involvement is that now we'll find out if the tech works, and if so he's capable of bring it to market. I.e., this purported tech advance has now been pushed forward to the 'put up or shut' phase. That to me is good news.

Whether or not he's an idiot (if this turns out to be a scam he'll basically be able to pin it on Rossi and maybe pay some fines for ill gotten gains), I'm willing to bet he has not had legitimate scientists study this (because Rossi won't let that happen unless he has control over certain aspects and won't let them actually study the device).
FYI, the venture capitalist firm bought Rossi's stuff in January. Why Adlep is acting like it's a new development when he posted all about that back in January, I don't know. This isn't some new investment, it's the same one from back then.
But then this is what adlep does he posts the same shit over and over acting like there's been some change when there often hasn't been at all.
