The energy produced by the atom is a very poor kind of thing. Anyone who expects a source of power from the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.
-Rutherford

There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean the atom would have to be shattered at will.
-Einstein

There is no likelihood that man can ever tap the power of the atom. The glib supposition of utilizing atomic energy when our coal has run out is a completely unscientific Utopian dream, a childish bug-a-boo.
