MISSION
New Energy Timestm is a project of New Energy Institute, a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to investigate, analyze, educate and report on the progress of new, sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources and research.

Its primary focus is the subject of low energy nuclear reactions, part of the field of condensed matter nuclear science historically known as "cold fusion." New Energy Institute seeks to advance the development and application of clean energy, accessible and affordable for everyone.

In order to remain a neutral, unbiased and impartial source of news and analysis, New Energy Timestm and New Energy Institute Inc. do not conduct their own scientific research, do not invest in or maintain ownership in any of the companies or technologies they report on, and do not try to acquire any intellectual property rights in the field.

NEW ENERGY TIMES
New Energy Times
documents the myths, realities, strengths and challenges associated with the field from when it was first introduced in 1989 through the present. The work of New Energy Times is seen by thousands of subscribers from 70 countries, including those working in civilian, military, financial, academic and industrial capacities.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"Some people say we have reached the end of science, that there are no more great discoveries that remain. In my view, nature always has more secrets to reveal.

I always stay on guard not to be too possessed by my own current knowledge. History has shown us repeatedly, for example, the foolishness of denying 'heliocentricism,' which resulted from individuals adhering too strongly to their own knowledge or to what was common sense in the past.

New Energy Times plays an essential role in enlightening the public to visionary scientific exploration, the unveiling of new secrets of nature - which is a prerequisite to innovation. It is only through such innovation that this world will achieve the advances that are so crucially needed in this time."

-Yoshiaki Arata
Professor Emeritus, Osaka University
Academician of Japanese Academy
Person of Cultural Merits of Japan
Recipient of the Sacred Treasure from the Emperor
Pioneer of hot and cold fusion research

"Today, cold fusion is a 'laboratory curiosity' -- as was the fission of atoms in the 1930s which now delivers seven percent of the world's energy. That is why this 'laboratory curiosity' deserves our attention.

There is no doubt that Krivit's high-quality work is the foundation for communicating this new scientific discovery, and there is no doubt that this will be fully recognized in the future."

- Dr. H. Bottollier-Curtet
Atomic Energy Commission, France
CEA-Cadarache

"During the ICENES 2005 conference in Brussels (August 21-26, 2005) dedicated to emerging nuclear energy systems, Steven B. Krivit, editor of New Energy Times and executive director of New Energy Institute Inc., contributed a very comprehensive paper reviewing the topic of cold fusion from its beginning.

He presented a rational analysis of the origins of the early negative evaluations made by well-known nuclear labs and professionals. He also reviewed the present-day research programmes in the field of cold fusion, showing that this research topic, even if not in the spotlight, remains nevertheless a serious topic of research."

- Dr. Hamid Aït Abderrahim
Head of Reactor Physics & MYRRHA Dept.
Studiecentrum voor Kernenergie - Centre d'étude de l'Energie Nucléaire, Mol, Belgium

"New Energy Times has made great strides in science journalism with both the successful publication of The Rebirth of Cold Fusion, and  its continuing communications projects. These are very timely and constructive, as they coincide with significant developments in Condensed Matter Nuclear Science research."

- Professor Xing Zhong Li
Department of Physics, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
Associate Editor, Journal of Fusion Energy
"The world is looking for the energy options which will sustain this civilization. There is no energy that is as costly as the lack of energy. A dictum enunciated long ago -- that we have to learn from nature how to produce copious amounts of energy -- is now coming true.

Cold fusion is a phenomenon which can be understood from physical laws. However, it is a difficult step to commercialize this phenomenon into an energy source; this is the challenge. The world's scientists should work towards that. I support the efforts of New Energy Times to encourage this work."

- Dr. P. K. Iyengar
Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission, India
(ret.)
"I want to thank New Energy Times for its courage and efforts to provide the public with rational news about new energy research and those that are spending their lives trying to find a solution to the nation's energy shortages."

- Professor Glen L. Schmidt
New Mexico Engineering Research Institute, The University of New Mexico
"Clearly, cold fusion has been assigned to the 'crank' category by many scientists, but Steven Krivit has thoughtful arguments and evidence that this label may be very wrong."

- Michael Lemonick
Adjunct professor, Princeton University
Senior science writer, Time magazine
Author of 1989 cover story on cold fusion

"New Energy Times is fulfilling a vital role in communicating the facts about condensed matter nuclear science by squaring up to the towering walls that career-conscious scientists have erected against new ideas.

Particularly important is editor Steven Krivit's series of lectures and presentations to key organisations - he is a hero in the making."

- Nick Palmer
Coordinator and energy campaigner for Friends of the Earth, Jersey, United Kingdom (1991-1998)

"Krivit is able to see the big picture better than most of us in the trenches. This is a valuable contribution to the field."

- Dennis Letts
Alternative energy researcher, Austin, Texas
"I want to express my appreciation for the work of New Energy Times. I applaud your rigorous commitment to scientific integrity. Your work demonstrates insight far beyond that of the conventional science media, yet you maintain a focus that is firmly rooted in empirical science."

- Professor Herman Branover
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel
Head of the Joint Israeli-Russian Laboratory for Energy Research
"Our latest archivist and current voice of conscience."

- Dr. Michael McKubre
Director of the Energy Research Center, SRI International
"I want to acknowledge your efforts to support Cold Fusion, LENR and CMNS research activities around the world. You are sending information of true facts without any intended bias to readers of New Energy Times and other related people. I like your fair actions."

- Professor Akito Takahashi
Department of Nuclear Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University
Director of Japan CF Research Society
President of International Society of CMNS
"New Energy Times fills an important void in science journalism with an unbiased, clear view of the new field of condensed matter nuclear science. I commend you for your courage and efforts.

It is my opinion that, in the long run, New Energy Times will be a source of information both for scientists and for science historians."

- Professor Jean-Paul Biberian
Département de Physique Faculté des Sciences de Luminy, Université d’Aix-Marseille, France
"It is important to pursue scientific research in new forms of energy for the benefit of mankind. It is most important that the truth of the results of that research be submitted to a candid world.

The Internet, with all its flaws, has performed well to serve as a source of information on those results. Suppression, distortion and, sometimes, outright fakery, either deliberate or from ignorance, can only partially skew valid information.

We are witnessing a sea change in the method of preparation and documentation of scientific papers resulting from the scrutiny afforded by the Internet. Not only are the papers and the reporting now viewed by that 'candid world': that reporting becomes a matter of record.

We have laws for banking practice called 'truth in lending.' Steven Krivit recognizes and practices the importance of 'truth in reporting.'"

- Richard Macaulay
Retired businessman
