World Pd reserves are about 1 billion troy ounces<http://palladium-bar.blogspot.com/2007/09/palladium-reserves-and-palladium.html>. Pd density is 12.02gm/cm^3. If it were all dedicated to power production at 100,000W/cm^3 the Pd cold fusion nameplate capacity would be:
([1E9 * ounce_troy] * [{12.02 * gramm} / {(centi*meter)^3}]^-1) * ([100 * {kilo watt}] / [{centi*meter}^3]) ? watt = 2.5876415E14 W over 200 terawatts. World energy demand for all sources of energy is now at: 474e18J/year?W (4.74E20 * joule) / year ? watt = 1.5030441E13 W under 20 terawatts.
