I understand the skeptic views expressed here and I am not against them even if I don't understand why the tough opposition that comes from them.
First of all, this is a thread that sums up the new developments in LENR field (so my personal beliefs about LENR does not matter in this thread). This thread deals with what many parties involved in LENR field are saying now to the public through: conferences, YouTube movies, interviews, press releases, etc.
Right now, about 3-4 of these scientists are saying that they will release a product by end of year 2012. Other 5-6 parties are saying they are close to a product. Either you choose to take the news with a grain of salt or be enthusiast about it is everybody personal choice.
But there is a wealth of evidence that points out that this indeed might happen.
Right now in WCG Forum there is no serious LENR thread. I filled that void as this is a too big issue to avoid in any scientific forums. WCG takes pride in new ideas and new research some of them energy related, so it is a good place to get this info in one short package.
There is a hope that LENR is filling and this hope is good for people that are naturally hopeful like the majority of WCG contributors.
So I will continue to insert these important news like the ones bellow:

A new player (the 4th) in commercial Cold Fusion field.
New Video regarding Francesco Piantelly's - NICKENERGY company:

Highlights:
1.Commercialization within a few months
2. Experiments running “many months” on almost no input power with high excess heat production. See at 12-13 minute mark.
3. Clear, unequivocal proof that LENR is a real phenomena with commercial applications.

News and updates about the Industrial E-CAT 1 MegaWatt Cold Fusion Plant and the Home Unit 10 KiloWatts E-Cat Cold Fusion device:

And some people are right when they say all skepticism will be over when these devices are on the market. I hope this will happen by the end of the year. Competition has a way of speeding things up.

Very important high profile development in LENR/Cold Fusion emerging industry:

TechConnect WORLD

"The TechConnect World is the world's largest multi-disciplinary multi-sector conference and marketplace of vetted innovations, innovators and technology business developers and funders. The TechConnect World houses four world-class technical events focused on advancements in Nanotech, Microtech, Biotech, Cleantech and the technology overlap between these converging domains. As technologies commercially mature from the purely research stage, they are advanced into the TechConnect Summit and partnering programs in which IP and Early-stage companies are reviewed and selected by our board of corporate and investment partners."

George Miley’s LENUCO WILL BRING LENR in attention of "BIG POCKETS" DECISION MAKERS so they can create the LENR emerging INDUSTRY:

"The discovery of practical applications of low energy nuclear reactions has created much activity and interest worldwide. Our approach using hydrogen loaded nanoparticles to produce heat that is converted to electrical output offers many advantages over others. Lenuco was founded to commercialize this technology and has a 2 pronged business model. One prong is to develop the technology for use by NASA to replace pu-238 radioactive power sources in future space probes. The second prong is to provide small to medium range distributed power source for home and industrial use. Both uses capitalize on the high power density and low maintenance, radiation free, long lifetime characteristics of LENR power cells. "

With 5 Companies (Leonardo Comp. - E-CAT, Defkalion, Brillouin, NickEnergy, LENUCO, and many more to come) that talk about industrial and home products using Cold Fusion, LENR is moving slowly but surely from LAB to MAINSTREAM INDUSTRY.

Dr. Miley will also be presenting at the World Green Energy Symposium (ICCF-17) in August 2012

Yes Astrolabe... but one of the beer bottles is from a Nobel Prize Winner.
Can you say that you have a bottle like that sitting close to yours? :-)

Let's not split the hair about production.
According to Rossi, the ECAT1 MW Plant is AVAILABLE NOW:

"The ECAT 1 MW Plant is available for pre-ordering now with an estimated delivery time of 3 months. The first generation of ECAT Home products will be available in 2013."

Do you have 1.5$ million to check on that?

Between Rossi, Defkalion, Brillouin, NickEnergy and LENUCO, the commercialization of Cold Fusion will start either end of 2012 or early 2013.
What is important for everybody is to have irrefutable proof of a working (and feasible) Cold fusion device (and they promised on that for 2012). After that, who really cares on how many per year or WHEN EXACTLY they will be available at your closest Wal-Mart.

And Rossi promised List of Licensees after October 2012 (about 20 of them). After that the licensees should be available to answer about E-cat.
They all saw it in action and test it.

I shook the hand of John F Kennedy. That doesn't mean that communism is defeated
