How does that compare/contrast to the nuclear physicists speaking out during the early part of the 20th century?

  The nuclear physicists were not banking on getting a trillion dollars invested in them by speaking out, for one. "Nuclear weapons are probably going to kill us all. For that reason, we need you to give us as much money as possible so we can work on deploying them in widespread global commercial usage." doesn't sound quite as convincing, does it?

    Um, guess you never heard of the Manhattan project.

      Perhaps you'd like to educate me? How many scientists from the Manhattan project were made into millionaires/billionaires owing to their ownership stake in it? When exactly did nuclear weapons go to market as a commercial product targeted at enterprises and consumers around the world?
