If were working on cold fusion and I had solid reason to believe that there was anything to cold fusion, I'd jump for joy that major scientists weren't chasing it. No competition for patents, or for getting the thing to market.

And then the money would be mine! Mine! ALL MINE!

Unless of course, you need money to continue your research, and then you are just a miserable poor broke pariah on the established scientific community. An outcast from the wrong side of science, chasing impossible dreams, an obvious fraud, a charlatran, a blight on more credentialed scientists. A subject for ridicule and jeer, ostracized by scientific journals and associations alike.

No the money won't be all yours. There won't be any money. Your children will know that you invented it, but others who are better funded will take your work and duplicate and expand on it. They will make your money. Your name if it's not a subject of ridicule forever, won't be vindicated for at least 50 years.
