Scenarios about 'cold fusion'
Cold fusion refers to a hypothetical type of nuclear reaction claimed to occur at room temperature, first controversially announced by electrochemists Fleischmann and Pons in 1989. The scientific community largely rejected their findings after experiments failed to consistently reproduce the claimed results, though research continues in some circles. In alternate history scenarios, cold fusion often represents a technological breakthrough that transforms energy production, geopolitics, and environmental outcomes by providing abundant, clean energy.
