Remember "cold fusion?"  I remember frequent skeptical attacks which went
like this: "If CF was possible, there would be all sorts of companies
working on CF devices.  Where are they?" 

Blacklight Power is R. Mills' cold fusion company.  Since "cold fusion" 
is politically a bad word, don't expect to find it in that company's
literature.  If I recall, Mills is the one with the "hydrinos" or
"shrunken hydrogen" theory to explain the heat output of cold "fusion" 
cells.  Under this theory, cold fusion is not fusion, it is a process
where the electron shell of hydrogen jumps to a lower level than the
currently accepted ground state.
