Since (gov’t funded) Hot Fusion didn’t work out so well over the last ~30 years, cold fusion is debunked?
Well, not in this Physics Today article.
But a converse attempt is made here:

The added wrinkle is that since Cold Fusion is not Hot Fusion, some how it is debunked.
Just this morning, I noticed that that giant hot fusion reactor in the sky is still going strong. Last night, I recall seeing thousands of hot fusion reactors speckling the sky. I expect I'll be seeing hot fusion reactors in the sky for the foreseeable future.
If "cold fusion" didn't violate so many laws of physics, and were a real phenomenon, we'd have seen it already in nature.
