Reasonable questions. Mills' experimental work and techniques,
which have seen enough replication and support from observation,
could easily upset the highly lucrative energy status quo if it
were allowed to penetrate the market place or become public
enough knowledge to alter perceptions about how much energy
should really cost. I believe that Mills has received funding
with the intention to make him go slow with letting the cat out
of the bag.
It is known that some high-level people with strong connections
to the energy industry and government, like Shelby T. Brewer,
the vice president of Blacklight Power, joined Mills.

Mills' funding included investments from old-school energy
companies.
It would also explain why Mills has not done more to promote
the reality of hydrinos. He could, for example, have distributed
more samples of his hydrino salts, or make small quantities
available for acquisition at a fee by interested researchers.
Instead, there is CQM and lots of work focused away from the
energy production potential that hydrinos hold. CQM is not a
proper theory. It is a partially contrived patchwork. There
may be elements of truth in there, but the theory is not
coherent. Though Mills likely started it as a honest attempt,
I believe it has evolved into a means of focusing the attention
away from the elephant in the living room:
EXPERIMENT HAS SHOWN THAT HYDRINOS ARE FOR REAL
THEREFORE ENERGY SHOULD BE CHEAP
To see how promoting CQM does that, just consider the discussion
in this forum. The naysayers and yeasayers have been going back
and forth about the details of the theory, thereby hiding the
elephant behing a curtain of smoke.
If Mills' goal would be to have hydrinos be accepted as soon as
possible, he'd not have emphasized and expanded CQM as he has.
The experimental evidence would have been enough: no theory is
needed for nature to act as it does. Particularly not a theory
that allows naysayers to point to its flaws and then go on to
wrongly suggest that therefore all the hydrino work must be in
error.
