Actually room temperature nuclear fusion has been verified by reputable scientists, but it only works with muonic-hydrogen. This is hydrogen with its electron replaced by a muon, a particle identical to the electron except that it weighs 200 times as much. Because of the extra mass the muon orbits the proton much closer than the electron does. This allows muonic-hydrogen nuclei to collide and fuse at room temperature.

However it takes far more energy to make the muons and replace them for the electrons than can be obtained from the fusion.
