No, not possible.
I'm fairly sure the hoopla stems from a very old mis-use of the term "fusion" that was in common use in tertiary chemistry texts from the 1920's to the 1960's, where "fusion" referred to the joining of two or more ATOMS to make a MOLECULE in a chemical reaction. The original perpetrators of this myth - Fleischman and Pons - are old enough to have been educated that way. In this respect "fusion" is constantly occurring at a frantic rate in a glass of water between OH- and H+ ions.
This is not "fusion" in the sense used in physics.
All the experiments conducted since have ben found to be flawed, mainly with respect to detecting background radiation in the lab and electronic thermal noise within the instruments.
High time this myth was buried, once and for all, along with "NASA faked the moon landings" and countless others.
