In hot fusion a critical temperature must be reached before the fusion process becomes self-powering. Cold fusion does not seem to require the temperatures and pressures of hot fusion, but is an NAE enough? Is it so unreasonable to imagine that a given NAE must be at a critical temperature before cold fusion process becomes self powering? Perhaps the critical temperature of a given NAE is more like temperature range. When the NAE is below a certain temperature it is too cold for cold fusion, and when it is above a certain temperature it is too hot for cold fusion. Harry
