Ann Landman of The Centre for Media and Democracy's site "PR Watch" has recently written a fantastic article exposing the seemingly deliberate silence. We congratulate Ann for her courage to speak up and tell it like it is in a world filled with corporate backroom deals and corporately controlled media. Our Fifth Estate ceased to be a check and balance a long time ago and now does not answer to the public, but serves it's money masters.
The silence by the controlled mainstream press is particularly noticeable and also inexcusable given the dramatic loss of life and ongoing nuclear disaster in Japan which now dwarfs the Chernobyl Event in terms of seriousness.

"The mainstream media has all but bypassed a truly remarkable development that could potentially be the biggest breakthrough in energy production since the discovery of fire". - Ann Landman
Ann sums the situation up perfectly here:
"The American media seems either unwilling or unable to grasp the significance of the Energy Catalyzer, or is omitting discussion of it for other reasons. The absence of news about the Energy Catalyzer, we could postulate, might be because it poses a threat to powerful American corporations that both control big media outlets and are vested in the energy production status quo. (Think General Electric, which both owns NBC and manufactures traditional nuclear fission reactors.) There would also appear to be motive enough to continue this news block as climate change pushes more policymakers to reconsider the more dangerous traditional nuclear power, and as corporations that benefit from recent huge price hikes in fossil fuels continue to rake in fabulous wealth with no end in sight."
