I'll tell you why you should care. It is a proven fact that the surface of metals cause the dissociation of H2 and D2. It has also been observed that CF reactions occur near the surface of Pd and seems to be related to defects in the crystalline structure. If such a void exists, it is conceivable that enough recombination energy is released in these voids that hot fusion of D2 could literally occur within these voids when hundreds or thousands of D atoms recombine into molecular deuterium. This idea is not unlike what happens in sonoluminescence. Look, McKubre says that he does not find the transmutations in his samples other than He and tritium. If thousands of 277 nm photons are suddenly released within a void of the crystal of Pd, you could have the creation of a little sun for a brief period with enough energy to cause fusion. This could be an extremely trivial explanation for cold fusion. T
