They also were unable to give the amount of heat “produced” in BTU terms. What the hell is “10KW” of heat? Watts are the measurement of units of power, not heat. This whole article reeks from consequential B.S.
Well......... it's a lot more than 400W , and that's all you need to know before you invest.

“What the hell is “10KW” of heat?”
Since one watt is equal to 3.41442595 BTU’s you should be able to do the math.
No, it is not a violation. The "Cold" in Cold Fusion simply refers to the reaction happening at water temperatures rather than in a million-degree plasma. A reaction which heats water to above boiling temperature is still called "cold fusion" but can be used to generate power.
Now, whether "cold fusion" actually can be made to work is another story.
In Europe, heat is defined as kW.
Specifically:
1 watt is approximately 3.41214 BTU/h

What laws of physics? There are no scientific laws that trump empirical evidence.
“Cold Fusion” is in and of itself, a violation of the laws of physics. Heat is a byproduct of fusion. “Cold fusion” implies the absence of heart from fusion, which is a violation of Physics.

Cold fusion does exist, there is no violation of any physical laws. The “Cold” in the name refers to less than the thousands of degrees required to cause the fusion in traditional fusion reactions. The Cold Fusion reactions happen on a very small scale, only a few molecules at a time are actually fused. This group has been testing for about 4 years. Since they have the a huge European electrical company working with them I can only assume that someone sees something of value. If they have a 10KW heater out in a year that only requires 600W of input power then I would say they will be very successful. By the way I don’t know what you are talking about saying that the watt is not a measure of heat, 1 BTU equals 0.0002928 kilowatt-hours. and of course 1 watt = 3.412141633 BTU/Hr.
We have a tendency to think of watts as electricity but it was born in the days of steam engines prior to the wide distribution of electricity.
Since the press conference was attended by 30 physicists I am inclined to wait to make an adverse judgment and hope it is true. If it is I think Arabian Islam will die.
