Conceding the extremely remote possibility that it's actually "fusion", there is one major hitch:

COLD = LOW ENERGY

((((yawn))))

Ummm- not necessarily. Cold Fusion just means that the temperature at which the fusion is occuring is much lower than that traditionally expected. The fusion process can be used to heat something up - like say boil water to steam. (A nice conventional use.)

If this pans out - it's a very big deal. But I wouldn't sell that Enron stock just yet...

Well give me a ping when one of these cold-fusion researchers boils enough water to make a decent cup of coffee.
