Hello Steve Krivit,

We would still very much like to include your voice in our film.  We want to cover the entire field and we know that you have had a concern about the “cold fusion” group being overly represented in our story.  We are too.  The only way for us to tell the complete story is for representatives of the different groups to go on camera to explain to the audience what is currently going on in the field.  So, we’re asking you, as a person who certainly can speak in an informed way about current theories and controversies, to represent those views in our film.

We’ve included a link to New Energy Times on our website because current thought in the field is of interest to us and our followers.  Although our budget is stretched to the limit right now, we would consider a trip to CA to do an interview if you would consent to do one.  How do you feel about that possibility?

Best,
Monica Ross
Artistic Director

Monica and Clayton,

Thank you for the invitation. After seeing your film trailers, I am convinced that you and Clayton Brown do not sufficiently understand this complex and convoluted topic to represent it accurately, with or without me. I am going to decline.

Thank you and good luck,

Steve

The board of directors of New Energy Institute would like to express its deepest regret for the passing of board member Alf Thompson. Although he kept a low profile in the field, Alf was a courageous and steadfast explorer of low-energy nuclear reactions. He was an insightful and dedicated participant in our organization. We would like to express our condolences to his family. His presence on our team will certainly be missed.

Jim Newburn, Board Member

I learned from one of Alf’s relatives that he died yesterday, Nov. 17, at his home in Nassau, Bahamas. He may have died from a heart attack, but there has been no official statement. The relative was not aware of any prior history of heart trouble. I think Alf was in his 50s. This is all I know right now.

Alf enjoyed doing LENR research and also worked at Biolife LLC, in Sarasota, Florida. Biolife grew out of a revolutionary topical powder used to stop bleeding. It was invented and developed by Alf and James “Doc” Patterson, another LENR researcher.

Alf had been working on LENR transmutation experiments. He was also one of the board members of New Energy Institute, the parent organization of New Energy Times.

New York Times:
“Whatever it was called, a shipping suspension [of rare earth materials] that started amid China’s diplomatic dispute with Japan over a wayward fishing trawler escalated into a broader international trade issue.

“The episode alarmed companies around the world that depend on rare earths, minerals that help make a wide range of high-tech products, including smartphones and smart bombs. China currently controls almost all of the world’s supply of rare earths, for which demand is soaring.”

New Energy Times: Praseodymium, a rare-earth metal, has been created in LENR transmutation experiments.
