Want this question answered?
Fusion is the blending of elements and can only be achieved by melting. Welding by definition is fusion. Brazing ,soldering etc are non fusing.

"Cold fusion" refers to fusion at (or near) room temperature, rather than the millions of degrees that are normally required. This has not been achieved so far - at least, not to any significant degree.
Artificial fusion has been achieved already. In fact it has been done in different ways. The problems with fusion include how to achieve it without consuming more power than is produced, and how to keep such a reaction going. The Farnsworth-Hirsch fusor is a fusion reactor a student might build as a project, but it sufferes these problems. Another problem with fusion is that many of the methods tried are expensive to test. The polywell is a reactor with such a problem. It is the result of many years of experimentation by Robert Bussard. According to Dr. Bussard, the polywell worked briefly before the apparatus burned out. Unfortunately he lost funding, and then died, and the effort is slowed as a result, so we do not actually know he was right. So the answer might be that we already have achieved practical fusion. We just have to determine that it is true. Or the answer might be that we have not achieved practical fusion, and if that is the case, it might be years or decades away.
Because nobody in other laboratories could reproduce the reported effects.
They got in big trouble
It is not possible to give an answer as there is no practical design for a fusion power plant. So far scientists have been struggling just to achieve fusion in experimental apparatus. How the energy would be extracted if and when fusion can be achieved is not known, and to get an idea of its thermodynamic efficiency you would need to know this.
Scientists want to harness fusion because they think it would be a new thing to do
