2016 UPDATE: This list was originally published on December 23, 2011, at the height of the Andrea Rossi E-Cat frenzy. By now, almost all of these links are dead or inactive. Many of them are redirected back to a single site, suggesting that the original links were created by a single person or company who was promoting Rossi. More information on the Rossi E-Cat scam is here.

Dec. 23, 2011 – Steven B. Krivit
I asked Ugo Bardi, a professor of chemistry at the University of Florence, how he thought “Energy Catalyzer” inventor Andrea Rossi had achieved such widespread attention on the Internet in spite of his lack of scientific evidence or proof of commercial success.

“There is a phenomenon of ‘tribalization’ that is now taking over the whole internet,” Bardi wrote. “People tend to form virtual tribes in which they repeat to each other always the same thing, until it becomes self-evident that the ‘thing’ is true. People who deny the ‘thing’ are enemies, the tribes assert, because of their internal evilness or because they are paid by the dark forces of Sauron.”

A New Energy Times reader sent me an extraordinary list of 81 websites and blogs, almost all created this year, that are promoting Andrea Rossi and his E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer.)

To whom it may concern,

In 2010, I conducted an investigation of the EPRI-funded SRI International experiment “M4,” performed by Michael McKubre and staff, and I published my findings. I also provided them to the federal intelligence community.

My conclusions are that, starting in 2000, McKubre began retroactively to manipulate and fabricate data that was associated with M4. He did so without presenting scientific support and without disclosing his changes to the public or to his sponsor, the Electric Power Research Institute. New Energy Times provided McKubre with multiple opportunities to respond to the investigation. Many questions remain unanswered. Please see the summary slides, questions and, where known, answers from McKubre below.

I have also asked SRI International as well as EPRI if they are willing to perform an independent investigation and release their conclusions, as well.
