Oh but he has not. Thanks for bumping the thread (T4BTT).
There was more to the post but it got erased.
It would appear that another Physicist, this time from Brown University, is proceeding along similar lines of theory. I would gather you don’t consider this guy a respectable physicist, either.

when the larger ensembles of
charges are present, the long-range nature of the attractive
image forces results in compressions of the interparticle
spacing leading to high local surface charge densities and to
separations where light nuclei are expected to exhibit high
fusion rates even in the presence of other neutral species.
