You're assuming that a replication of Pons and Fleischmann's original work is necessary for cold fusion to be an interesting research subject.

- andrewcooke 17y agoNo, I'm not. As I've said elsewhere, I can understand why this is interesting to researchers. But to be interesting to me (and, I suspect, at least some others) there needs to be some reliably repeatable demonstration of "new physics". I don't see any evidence for that here. There are lots of people investigating lots of exciting ideas out there. That's great. But there's a big difference between "wouldn't it be cool if..." and "hey, I can show that...". When I saw the conference details, I hoped cold fusion was at the "show that" phase. Disappointingly, it continues to not be. Hence my post.
