I hate to throw cold water on the cold fusion story, but my answer is still:
BS
Now Kevmo, before you slam me let me say: Given the extreme conditions required for fusion of hydrogen-hydrogen, I just blindly refuse to believe that any other fusion reaction involving heavier elements can be achieved under lesser conditions.
You follow this much more closely than most of us others, so you might be able to quickly give a little more technical details explaning how they can pull this off?
besides, its all Greek to me.....

***All right. Here’s my take on how.
The Hydrogen atoms get absorbed into a lattice structure like Palladium or Nickel. What were once free-as-the-wind atoms are now restricted in movement to 6 axes. When enough of them start rubbing into each other, they turn like magnets into various positions, and then they will all move together, in unison as a vibration entity. This is the alignment of their phonon energy. When 2 of these phonon entities which are just strings of hydrogen atoms moving in one direction, when they collide, they quantum tunnel the 2 hydrogen atoms at the forefront of the collision, and with some possible variations such as the Widom Larson theory, you end up with 2 hydrogen atoms fused together. Or 2 deuterium atoms, or 4 atoms producing Helium or all kinds of myriad effects. One of those myriad effects is a huge explosion at the atomic level that destroys the host lattice and transmutes the metal.
So the closest theories are the Widom Larson theory and KP Sinha’s theory. I have also personally met someone who used software developed on Mills’ theory and he says it predicts chemical behavior of certain atoms & molecules much better than other models.
In the end, it is likely to be a conglomeration of Widom-Larson/KP Sinha/Mills/FillInTheBlank that describes this phenomena.
My favorite is KP Sinha’s because there is no new physics.
