Edward Nixon
Edward Nixon began his international consulting service in 1971 working initially under the name Global Access until the incorporation of Nixon World Enterprises in the State of Washington in May 1980.
In addition to his technical evaluation projects, Mr. Nixon has been able to offer his clients extraordinary worldwide access to decision makers, both political and industrial.
Most of his earlier work involved studies of exploration and discovery, extraction and marketing of mineral resources outside the United States. In 1973, following the second inauguration of his brother, President Richard Nixon, and with growing concern about our own diminishing reserves of fossil fuel, he decided to reorient his business interests toward potential solutions to our increasing reliance on foreign suppliers.
Foreign travel and especially his work in lesser-developed countries had already inspired his search for alternative energy sources. He concluded that we should continue developing geothermal and wind energy even though they are too limited to make a significant impact on global needs for alternatives. This eventually led to his fulltime consulting work on several wind energy development projects in California and the Caribbean.
In 1983, Mr. Nixon’s first meetings with the prolific German inventor, John Laing, focused mostly on energy efficiency devices and possibilities for improving wind energy conversion suitable for utility-grade electric power. Subsequent cooperation revealed that Mr. Laing had much more to offer with his Pyron Solar concept. Thus, Mr. Nixon has devoted increasing personal attention to the development of new methods for solar electric power generation – techniques that now appear certain to provide the breakthrough needed to compete successfully with any and all conventional producers.
Mr. Nixon holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Duke University and a Master of Science in Geological Engineering from NC State University.
