I dont know either Andy but given the simplicity of the experimental setup the crux of the problem seems to be in measuring any kind of fusion byproducts. If there is indeed anything going on it is finicky beyond belief as it seems to be unmeasureable by anyone in a repeatable fashion. So Occam's Razor would suggest there is nothing there. I doubt there is any deep dark conspiracy on this, the lure of cheap power will always draw the gullible to pay some researcher or another who claims to found the secret of cold fusion but somehow there are never repeatable positive results.
