Flutterby™! : Mitt falls for cold fusion

There are actually some good ideas in this Washington Examiner interview with Mitt Romney, but then we come to a screeching halt in a section about government funding of research at:

I do believe in basic science. I believe in participating in space. I believe in analysis of new sources of energy. I believe in laboratories, looking at ways to conduct electricity with -- with cold fusion, if we can come up with it. It was the University of Utah that solved that. We somehow can’t figure out how to duplicate it.

Way to root for the home team, Mitt, but... uh... sorry. No. "can't figure out how to duplicate it" isn't in the same universe.
