Financial Times誌がWoodford's Investment社による約５０億円の常温核融合投資をレポート

Financial Times誌が英国の投資会社Woodford's Investment社がIndustrial Heat社に約５０億円（$50M)を投資していたことを報じました。要するに、ロッシ氏の常温核融合装置E-Catの将来性に約５０億円を賭けたということです。

Financial Times Reports on Woodford’s Investment in Industrial Heat and Cold Fusion | via kwout

E-Cat Worldの記事によると、FT誌の記者は常温核融合に非常に懐疑的な書き方をしているようです。自分で深く調べないと分からないでしょうから、これは仕方ないとして、ロッシ氏が出したコメントが興味深いです。

Roslyn Abrams:
Woodford visited the plant during the test in February 2015 and in September 2015: when they invested 50 million dollars in IH the sole license and intellectual property that IH had was the one of Leonardo Corporation. The top level officers that Woodford sent to visit the plant during the test had at their disposal the first and the second querterly report made by the ERV. The fourth and last quarterly report, as well as the third, were substantially equal to the first and the second. IH has also paid the invoices related to the first, the second and the third report of the ERV. Eventually, they did not pay the fourth report, because they said it was not correct. But it was equal to the former three, related to the period during which IH collected funds from their investors. At the end of the second visit to the plant of 1 MW during the test, in September 2015, the senior officer of Woodford said to me the following precise words: ” Congratulations, Dr Rossi, we saw great stuff here”.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

このコメントによると、Woodford's Investment社の人間が2015年に２回、ロッシ氏の常温核融合発熱プラントを訪れたそうです。そして、２回目の訪問の最後には、ロッシ氏に対してお祝いの言葉「 Congratulations, Dr Rossi, we saw great stuff here」を述べたそうです。
