In response to the inquiry made by the Free Energy Truth to the UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Minister Chris Huhne, regarding Andrea Rossi E-Cat, the UK DECC issued a statement on behalf of David MacKay FRS, DECC Chief Scientific Adviser. The statement was signed by Sandra Bembridge of DECC correspondence Unit.
The letter said that DECC is monitoring the development of Andrea Rossi E-Cat – an alleged breakthrough technology for energy source. DECC Chief Scientific Adviser, David MacKay read the literature about it and met with Sven Kulander, who made a review about Rossi’s experiment and published the report on Defkalion website. The letter further stated that MacKay’s recommendation for DECC is to continue monitoring the development of Rossi’s work. DECC is eager to see the publication of Andrea Rossi’s work, with complete details, in reputable scientific journals so that independent scientists can replicate the experiment.
DECC stands for Department of Energy and Climate Change. It is the UK counterpart of the US Department of Energy. UK is one of the powerful countries in the world and having its department of energy publicly expressing interest in Andrea Rossi E-Cat, is a significant milestone for Rossi.
However, it is worthy to note that the major point of consideration for DECC to seriously consider E-Cat is for Andrea Rossi to publish his work in scientific journals with full details to allow independent replication. We know for a fact that Andrea Rossi is not keen on having his work replicated due to proprietary issues. But maybe, Rossi can pull things off as soon as results of the commissioned research with University of Bologna and Uppsala University will be published.
Until then Andrea Rossi will have to be content with the objective skepticism and conservative stance that the rest of the scientific and technological world is taking towards his work.

Actually, Mackay (who is a colleague of mine) has indicated a degree of flexibility, in that appropriate endorsement from a trusted customer might suffice in lieu of journal publication.
