“Cold fusion” moves closer to mainstream acceptance

cold fusion won't move any closer to mainstream acceptance until people can start to show any examples of positive net energy cold fusion, either in the lab or in nature.

or, alternatively, show that it is possible to do coldER fusion. just, show that there's a process with the possibility of scaling down.

Exactly. Cold fusion is not necessarily 'junk science' but until someone uses it to generate net energy it is an interesting theoretical idea rather than solid science on which real world technology can be built.
