Global Electric Utilities and PE funds buy our power plants because we have saved years and tens of millions in development cost when compared to the current industry's dated practices and lack of technology adoption. Our use of modern IT systems and creative new business process approaches allow our customers to counteract the industry trends of extended schedules and rising costs.As CEO and Chairperson of the Board, our speed and cost saving measures allowed several electricity plants (approximately $USD 350 MM each) to be sold giving potentially millions of users in the Northeastern USA low cost and cleaner electricity.We secured an exclusive technology license for gasification technology from Huaneng Power Group of China Power for North America to create carbon capture electricity plants in the event the US H.R. 2454 (American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009) passed by the House of Representatives in June 2009 would pass the Senate. This would result in our plants having a $60M per year tax credit more than offsetting any costs to deploy the technology.Formerly, Immersive Media Inc., the company developed the technology where 360-degree images tied to GPS coordinates became Google's StreetView service. The company changed its name and business focus through a plan of arrangement adopted by shareholder vote.* Served as CEO from Jan 2009 to December 2012.
