I have absolutely no idea whether this is really cold fusion or something else, but it doesn’t seem even remotely feasible economically. I’m basing my opinion on the description of the devices. It seems like a lot of expense to (potentially) generate very, very tiny amounts of heat. What’s the likelihood of something like this ever generating enough power to run a modern industrial society? For comparison, solar power generation exists and is a proven technology, but it’s hardly competitive. What am I trying to say? Just because something CAN be done doesn’t mean it will be done, and we aren’t even sure at this point cold fusion CAN be done.

Rossi's existing devices are V0.10 prototypes at the very leading edge of the learning curve. Be patient. The first fission reactors (Chicago pile) didn't produce much power either.
