Cold fusion reminds me of the joke where the two scientists (two guys wearing white lab coats...) are discussing a chalkboard filled with abstract mathematical symbols. One scientist is pointing to an equation he doesn't quite grasp and the other scientist explains "at this point a miracle occurs."
Maybe in some "alternate universe" there exist "white holes" which connect to the black holes in our universe. From their point of view they see an incoming flux of energy with no apparent source and they have figured out a way to tap into that to utilize the "free power" but that's not happening in our little corner of the cosmos.

As you say, people have been "working" with "cold fusion" since 1989, has anyone generated even 1 watt of electrical power with the subject technology?Earlier this week, Kevmo posted THIS article, commenting on a public demonstration of a cold fusion reactor at MIT. The best run produced 0.08 Watts for about 102 minutes.
CERN is also holding a conference about LENR (in March, I believe). They made a point of saying that coffee and tea would be served afterwards. Using the above device as an example, if they could store the heat it generated perfectly, it would take about 10 days to produce enough energy to brew a cup of tea. So, at this time, LENR is not yet ready to make a cup of tea.
The part I find most amazing is that the Rossi fan boys who believe that Rossi is really generating 10,000W of power with his gadget are, nevertheless, getting all excited about Swartz generating 0.08W. Either Swartz's demonstration is totally trivial, or Rossi's is totally fraudulent.
If LENR is so far off, why is NASA filing a patent for this technology? You don’t see them doing that for Polywater or Zero Point Energy.
