Existence of a cold fusion confirmed

Description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Wild Card (approx. 150 words)
Since the 90s, there have been struggles among nuclear researchers over the issue of a cold fusion, achieved by electrolysis. As the scientific and technological development advanced along the time, new nuclear processes were discovered. This resulted in confirmation of the cool fusion phenomenon; nuclear fusion at normal temperatures.

Keywords

cold fusion, nuclear power, research, temperature, electrolysis

Mini-description

(max. 250 characters)

Cold fusion is irrefutably proved by nuclear researchers.

Likelihood

Closest timeframe for at least 50% likelihood
Please use one of the following options:
now-2050+

Type of event

Human planned (e.g. terrorist attack or funded scientific breakthrough)

Type of emergence

please select (if any) describe related trend or situation
A new development/situation
(e.g. a Romani state is established in central Europe; A message from an alien civilisation existing on a distant planet is received and understood, etc. 		extreme boom of nuclear power sources
A counter trend/development/situation
(e.g. There is a massive decline in mobile phone usage due to fears of health hazards; Considerations of privacy lead to the banning of video surveillance in public spaces 		rapid decline of importance of other energy sources
