That may not be true. Tritium is used today in exit signs and wristwatches. In other words, government regulations already allow it in small amounts. As long as it can be shown that the amount of tritium produced is limited and can be controlled, and that the device sealed in a way that prevents any leakage, small amounts will probably be okay. It is easier to seal a cold fusion cell than something like a battery or in an internal combustion engine. It would not surprise me if fossil fuel lobbyists try to prevent the use of cold fusion because it produces tritium. The way to counter this will be for cold fusion lobbyists to point out that the use of fossil fuel releases far more radioactive garbage into the environment than cold fusion ever will, especially from burning coal. If there are no cold fusion lobbyists then there is no chance cold fusion will ever be allowed. I am sure the opposition from the physics establishment and later from the fossil fuel industry will crush it. Fortunately, many powerful interests such as industrial corporations will be in favor of developing cold fusion and they will be willing to pay for lobbyists. - Jed
