community that they had developed nuclear fusion using a method called cold

inexpensive, environmentally safe unlimited source of energy would become
available to the world. within five weeks of their presentation, the scientific
community rejected the scientists work, and cold fusion did not become the answer
to providing energy they had hoped it would
