Seems to me the biggest problem with cold fusion is replicating the experiments. What say you.
With all the interest in alternative energies cold fusion can never get the big investors the way crap projects like Solyndra do. I think word is out on Wall Street that cold fusion is cute but flaky when it comes to repeating the process
How about Brightsource?
Their multi-billion dollar experiment in the desert is quite effective at cooking birds as they fly by, but is using almost as much energy as it produces just to keep it running.
A total failure, but the media still call it “green energy.”
.
I say "no".
Successful replications have been done, repeatedly. CF suffers from a witch hunt mentality engendered from the start by the physics community, and highly visible here and pretty much everywhere that CF has gotten the slightest positive commentary.

WHAT "big investors"?? Solyndara and others got government subsidies, as did "hot fusion",the latter to the tune of several hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars.
And the "deep eco-freak" mindset literally hates the idea of fusion (even hot)....one quote one commenter:
"...successfully harnessing fusion would be like giving an AK-47 to a monkey...."
