GC just is so out of touch with his investors its maddening. After almost 30 years for original Investors who have essentially lost EVERYTHING. Piss poor press releases and every attempt to keep his new projects to himself only make people less enthused about any future success. If he cared one iota he could have set up the hydrogen company to be part of Coates while still reserving royalty right to himself and people would be less pissed.
How did he fund that work? At the building and on the dime of Coates Investors. Thats fucked up. Also he's old. So his window is very close to closing and there does not seem like any plan in place for a post GC company. If he had any faith in his son you would have assumed he would have taken on a more public role now just to assuage those fears.
