It&#x27;s been investigated for 26 years. I do understand your and the author&#x27;s point, it&#x27;s just that it doesn&#x27;t really get us anywhere. A few months ago I was discussing this on another forum and someone said words to the effect that &quot;what the cold fusion people should have done was build a device powerful enough to run an electric car or heat a house&quot;, as if F&amp;P cold fusion was a real thing that worked and the trouble was that nobody ever bothered to try and develop it. In reality dozens of investigators have tried to recreate it and scale it up. They didn&#x27;t fail because they didn&#x27;t try, they failed because it doesn&#x27;t work.<p>Yes it&#x27;s theoretically possible that someone might figure out a way, but as with the magic thruster drive, even the people working on the devices dont have the vaguest idea how such a device might actualy work. That doesn&#x27;t provide much to go on in the way of reasons to be optimistic about their chances of success.
