Having formerly been in the field I'm more than skeptical. Of course, experience can be the bane of innovation. Still, 1.5 MW isn't a low power, low yield, hard to verify production. Whatever the source of the result, it's not an artifact (ie, it's presumably either real or its fraud).
The past well-known announcements of cold fusion, as you know, have been either fraudulent or badly done science (as in, the effects were artifacts of poor design, not cold fusion). What makes me most skeptical is this isn't appearing in a reputable science journal, like Physical Review Letters (something like this surely qualify for publication in a high impact journal like PRL). Or...did I miss something? (Not impossible by any means).
