Happy Cold Fusion Day!
It's a big anniversary in Utah energy/embarrassment history.
Twenty year ago, two chemists put Utah on the map when they produce fusion energy from deuterium molecules in an apparatus that appears to be a large bong. (Maybe that explains what came next.)
The UofU's Stanley Pons and Britain's Martin Fleischmann's mind-blowing announcement turned from a scientific breakthrough into another only-in-Utah joke, when other scientists around the globe couldn't reproduce their findings.
Once again, Utah was that close to saving the earth from global warming.

I guess it's just a coincidence.
