If a working viable cold fusion reactor is now a reality (and I can't see why not since many groups are now reporting a consistent 2.5W per gram of transition-metal mix -deuterium-lithium-hydrogen fuel mix - what's the hold up?) they should be mass-produced as quickly as possible, funds diverted from all other fusion projects like ITER etc into this. Well we can always dream....
Skeptics here would be inclined to agree with you, but also give weight to the converse of this statement (no that is not shoes!).
