The hot fusion method that you describe has been explored for over 100
years using over 50 billion dollars. Several methods are being
explored because they have promise, but not the ones you note because
they have no promise. Hot fusion continues to receive support in an
attempt to overcome the ENGINEERING problems. Once LENR is
acknowledged as a nuclear reaction, it also will get similar support.
So far, the financial system does not acknowledge this fact.

Occurrence of a nuclear reaction is the only proof that matters.
Once a nuclear reaction is demonstrated to occur, making commercial
energy only requires good engineering.
I wish this were true, in and of itself. But people have known
about muon catalyzed fusion, pre-1989 cold fusion, sonoluminescence
and neutrons being emitted from lightening for a long time, and
these phenomena have remained curiosities. An additional ingredient
that must be present in order for people to become excited about
LENR is the possibility of a new energy source.
