For John, BLUF: John, you didn't really expect NASA to come up with this, did you? Nothing to see here; just move along.
Per Aviation Week, the Lockheed Skunk Works has come up with a design to conduct cold fusion
A unit capable go generating 100-Mega Watts (sufficient power for 80,000 homes) would require less than 55 pounds of fuel for an entire year of operation. The fuel, Deuterium, comes from sea water.
Hat tip to the Instapundit.

I believe they are using hot fusion, just using a unique magnetic field configuration to contain the plasma. Very cool though!
