Major Site Re-Design and New Subscription Service Launch

Sept. 1, 2012 – By Steven B. Krivit –

Dear Readers,

I am pleased to announce that, on Sept. 15, we will launch a major re-design of the New Energy Times Web site and News Service. We will also start our new subscription service then.

Where We’ve Been
I started New Energy Times 12 years ago after I learned, to my great surprise, that researchers were still pursuing the mysteries of low-energy nuclear reactions. At the time, LENRs held the promise of a new kind of radiation- and waste-free green nuclear energy alternative. They still do today.

Twelve years ago, LENRs had fallen off the radar screen. Most people and news organizations assumed that the idea of room-temperature nuclear reactions was simply the result of error, fraud or self-delusion. But I was not so quick to dismiss it. I found no reliable, accurate, independent and current resource available on the topic. I began to seek the truth for myself, making direct contact with the people in the field. I found a nearly hidden world of exciting energy research. I decided to share what I learned with the public, through New Energy Times.

Because New Energy Times is a primary journalistic resource on LENRs, our expertise has been sought by and provided to the American Nuclear Society, American Chemical Society, Royal Society of Chemistry, Wiley and Sons (publisher of the Nuclear Energy Encyclopedia), Elsevier (publisher of the Encyclopedia of Electrochemical Power Sources), the U.S. Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, New York Times, Popular Science, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Diligence Business Intelligence, Strategic Business Insights, the Indian Department of Atomic Energy, and Netherlands Study Center for Technology Trends, among many others.

Where We’re Going
Over the years, we have attracted the generous support of philanthropists who recognized our work and helped us in our early development. We are switching to a subscriber-based service and will continue to provide cutting-edge, in-depth reporting to our readers. We will continue our mission to investigate, analyze, educate, and report on the progress of new, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy sources and research, primarily LENRs.

After Sept. 15, most of our feature articles and exclusive news content will be available to subscribers only. You will be able to read the first paragraph or two of all articles, but then the articles for subscribers will display a lock icon and a login prompt. Once you log in, the full article will become visible. Every month, or sooner if major news occurs, we will send you an e-mail with a list of the latest New Energy Times headlines and links to the full articles. We will provide Twitter service for instant alerts for all New Energy Times news stories. Both the News Headline service and the Twitter news alert service will be free.

What You Can Expect

• Informative and Comprehensive News Coverage: New Energy Times has deep subject-matter expertise in this complex area of new-energy research, honed over the past 12 years.
• Exclusive Information: New Energy Times has direct access to LENR researchers around the world, and our News Service brings breaking news to your inbox or Twitter feed.
• Decisive Analysis : New Energy Times helps you understand the complexities of this new and rapidly evolving field through independent, professional and decisive analysis.
• Trend Alerts :We know where the field has been, and we can show you where the trends are heading.
• Transparency : New Energy Times maintains strict financial and business independence from the people and organizations on whom we report. As has been our policy since our inception, we do not conduct our own scientific research, do not invest in or maintain ownership in any of the companies or technologies we report on, and do not try to acquire any intellectual property rights in the field.

Reference and Archival Information Will Remain Free
All of our reference information and archives (5,000 documents, images, recordings and news stories) will remain free and accessible to the public. All news stories published before Sept. 15 will also remain free.

Subscription Options

• Yearly Subscription ($80) – Full access to all news articles for a period of one year, automatically renewing each year.

On Sept. 15, we will begin offering subscriptions. We hope you will join us as we continue to follow developments in the most exciting and potentially disruptive area of leading-edge energy research.
