ARTHUR C. CLARKE, FRIEND OF NEW ENERGY
Borrowed from Infinite Energy, # 12

"I've written dozens of books on the subject (space travel) and I'm sick and tired of talking about it. I've nothing new to add, except I think more and more that the new space age, and the new everything age, is linked more and more to the new energy revolution...

"For one thing, there is this so-called cold fusion. Which is neither cold nor fusion. Very few Americans seem to know what is happening, which is incredible. It's all over the world, except the United States. There are hundreds of laboratories doing it, they've got patents all over the place. The prototypes are on sale now .... There are so many vested interest. There are the hot fusion boys. All the rocket engineers will be out of jobs, and a lot of the poor guys are already. I don't like to guess at the scenario, but I would say that before the end of this decade, the hand waving will be over and people will accept that this energy exists, whatever it is, and there may actually be several different varieties. A lot of heads will roll at the U.S. Department of Energy and elsewhere."

- an excerpt from Dr. Clarke's comments to Discover Magazine, May 1997.
