European Parliament Did Not Request LENR Meeting

June 2, 2013 – By Steven B. Krivit –

A meeting to discuss LENR research will take place on Monday in the Jozsef Antall room at a European Parliament building. Contrary to rumor, the European Parliament did not request the meeting and is not promoting it.

The room was provided as a courtesy and at the request of the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment (ENEA) in Frascati. Several LENR researchers will give presentations.

Two of the researchers are Michael McKubre, the former director of the SRI Energy Research Center, and Vittorio Violante, a researcher with ENEA. McKubre and Violante have extensive experience in LENRs and have worked in the field for two decades.

On May 30, New Energy Times sent an e-mail to Amalia Sartori, an Italian politician, a member of the European Parliament and chair of the Industry, Telecommunications, Research, Energy (ITRE) Committee, to learn more about the meeting.

According to a May 31 e-mail New Energy Times received from Sartori’s assistant Valentina Zilio, the meeting was organized by ENEA Frascati after Sartori’s office received a request from ENEA to hold the meeting at the European Parliament building.

“When an external organization would like to organize an event at the European Parliament, it needs the support and the patronage of a member of the European Parliament,” Zilio wrote. “ENEA asked Mrs. Sartori to give her patronage for this event. Unfortunately, Mrs. Sartori has another engagement in Italy on Monday afternoon, and she cannot deliver her speech during the conference. She will be replaced by Mrs. Herczog.”

Zilio wrote to New Energy Times that the meeting is not listed on the European Parliament Web site and that it will not be Web cast. Because the meeting was not requested by Parliament, members of Parliament are unlikely to attend.

New Energy Times has received a draft agenda for the meeting, prepared by the LENR researchers. The introduction to the agenda says that LENR excess heat “is not associated with nuclear radiation and does not appear when light water (H2O) is used.”

However, light-water experiments (with normal hydrogen) and gas experiments with normal hydrogen have produced LENR excess heat, are well-documented in the field and have been published in peer-reviewed journals.
