- This may be of interest, this is from "What's New", a weekly announcement
- of interesting (mostly political) physics news from the American Physical

- IS COLD FUSION PRACTICAL? IT IS IF YOU OWNED STOCK IN NTT
- prior to the Third International Cold Fusion Conference in Nagoya
- on 21 Sept. Two scientists from Nippon Telephone and Telegraph
- held a press conference to announce that they had detected excess
- heat and helium in a reproducible cold fusion experiment. NTT
- stock rose 11% on the news. NTT is one of the biggest stock
- capitalization companies in the world. The paper profits after
- the cold fusion announcement were nearly $8 billion.
-
- The phenomena might well be imaginary, but the profits evidently
- aren't !
