Actually Coates does not need Secure Supplies and its hydrogen. Coates also does not need the US Government subsidies and US green movement.
There are dozens of EU and Asian foreign governments that are sycophants of global warming caused by mankind, for whom the CSRV is the perfect answer until huge changes in battery capacity are equivalent to fossil energy levels and can be produced as cheaply.
His invention simply fell into the tree hugger's lexicon and made good PR copy for both.
1. The real $$ come from ICE users and manufacturers that MUST reduce their costs of goods and improve engine viability, efficiency and lifetime.
2. In the oil and gas fields the current setups of generators are continuing to be a massive cost from frequent engine burnout fueled by dirty gas and lack of maintenance.
3. Valve systems are eating over 30% of engine production costs and result in QC problems and failures in the field (at your local garage too).
4. Training and continual parts revisions for variable cams and timing mechanisms are complicating efficient repair times, especially considering their deep relation to electronic computer modules, programming and in service testing. Modules are simple to replace but the diagnostic systems are far too expensive, thus raising service costs to the consumer.
The CSRV provides a fresh and more mechanically simple departure. No doubt, in the future the ICE makers will create a SNAFU or technological FUBAR around the CSRV.
The ships, trains and off road vehicle rules will not be rolled back because they are international products shipping to Green Crap countries. GC has the international solution.
If anything, if Trump's folks were to get hold of the CSRV,,, good heavens.....
the US Gov would then be forcing CSRV down the EU's and others throats with glee. What a coup that would be. USA holds the patents and the EU/Asia pays USA through the nose. And all the while the tree huggers would have to agree with Trump!!!
F yea! Beam me up Scotty.
