ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Nov. 14, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- World Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:WEGY), a company focused on energy conservation technologies and environmental sustainability, reports that Rear Admiral TJ Wilson has agreed to join the company's advisory board. Admiral Wilson will assist in the commercialization of the Company's hydrogen-oxygen energy technology and will provide strategic support for the market launch of the company's patented 'Pure Air' technology.
"All of the projects currently under development by World Energy Solutions have significant relevance to the U.S. Navy," stated Rear Admiral Wilson. "The hydrogen-oxygen technology has the potential to significantly reduce fuel consumption on ships, reducing the requirement for replenishments at sea and extending ships' range. The adoption of this technology by the U.S. Navy would have a significant impact on how fleets cans be utilized. Equally as exciting is the company's pure air technology, which has major relevance to bio-chemical defense mechanisms in both ships and shore establishments. I see extensive opportunities for the U.S. Navy to acquire and utilize these and other technologies now under development by WES," continued Wilson.
Rear Admiral TJ Wilson retired in 2003 from a 30 year career in the Navy. His service included three commands, one each as a Commander, Captain and Flag officer. Early assignments included engineering, training and operations positions in various different ship types to include aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers and frigates. As a flag officer, Admiral Wilson was Commander Standing Naval Force Atlantic, one of NATO's then four standing naval forces and as Deputy Director Surface Warfare Division, Navy Headquarters Staff. His final assignment was as Oceanographer and Navigator of the Navy. This assignment included additional duties as the Senior National Representative which required him to interface with various counterparts around the globe, exchanging ideas and exploring technologies of mutual benefit.
