the main problem with cold fusion is that it doesn't fucking work. Other than that it's great.

Hey good news...cold fusion may work :lol:
Navy Heats Up Cold Fusion Hopes
Daily Tech, May 5, 2007
Scientists at Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (Spawar) claim they have achieved a low energy nuclear reaction (LERN) in an experiment that can be replicated and tested.
They coated a thin wire with palladium and deuterium, then subjected it to magnetic and electric fields. The researchers have offered plastic films called CR-39 detectors as evidence that charged particles have emerging from their reaction experiments.

I only barely comprehend this, but...
Isn't that just a demonstration of the probability of a neutron rich isotope of Palladium being beta decayed by a lucky quantum tunneling Deutrium atom? How much fucking Palladium can you go out and get?
It's my understanding that it's the PALLADIUM that's important for this reaction, and that as a quantum event, it's going to be a rare reaction... measurable, but hardly able to achieve a high enough reaction rate to actually power anything. Assuming you actually get any net power at all.
