Fascinating - always thought that there was substance tothe first reports of coldfusion.
The big question is can it be commercialized
The first reports on cold fusion involved the use of platinum which has a tremendous ability to absorb hydrogen gas. I've always suspected it was that characteristic, more than any other, that gave rise to the strange results that were interpreted/misinterpreted as demonstrating fusion.
If we can keep the government's mitts off this technology, perhaps it can be commercialized. If not, we'll end up with an FDA of energy - which would mean no energy.
