– USA, NJ – Millennium Energy Corporation (OTCMKTS:MLME) is pleased to announce the appointment of Alexander Lightman as Chief Executive Officer.
Alexander Lightman has joined the Board of the Company as a director and has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect.
Michael Fuoco will step down as CEO but will be appointed Deputy Chairman and remain as the company CFO, a position he previously served in since 2014. The company’s Chairman Irving Aronson thanked Mr. Fuoco for his service as CEO.
On the appointment of the new CEO Mr. Aronson said: “We are very fortunate to have secured the services of Alexander Lightman as Chief Executive Officer for Millennium Energy, with his extensive experience and his substantial industry contacts and knowledge built over many years as an entrepreneur. Alexander Lightman will be a great credit to the company as CEO and, in my opinion, will add immense value for shareholders. He has the total support of the majority shareholders and the board as he refocuses the company on new technologies in the renewable energy sector with plans to focus on clean energy production from NH3 as a primary fuel source for numerous uses from fuel storage to powering automobiles and trucks.”
Lightman said, “Millennium Energy now has an acquisition strategy that will enable us to do things the vast majority of governments and the majority of consumers would like industry to do: create a clean fuel that will run in existing cars, trucks, buses, ships, and aircraft. We will be able to do this from the cleanest sources, such as solar, as well as from the dirtiest sources, like tar sands, coal, and oil.
“There is a big business debate about fossil fuels vs. renewables, as we saw when President Trump removed the US from the Paris Agreement. One estimate is that the cost of the transition to a world that is 80% fossil fuel powered to one that is 100% renewable energy powered is $100 trillion.
“During my research to write national innovation plans for the US and Mexico, I became aware of a massive opportunity that no public company was pursuing aggressively. The board and shareholders of Millennium were the first in a public company who were ready, willing and able to seize this opportunity to acquire the technology and intellectual property to go after multiple trillion-dollar markets.
“I am honored and grateful to be able to dedicate my life not only to increasing shareholder value, but also to show how to end the debate and move our civilization to clean sustainable future based entirely on carbon- free fuels. A key aspect of the new Millennium Energy business model is that it won’t require us to throw away our existing 1.2 billion internal combustion engine cars and other parts of a transportation system that we’ve invested tens of trillions of dollars in to replace it with electric vehicles not every family or company can afford, and it won’t require us to stop using fossil fuels, just to stop using them in a way that pollutes.
“Millennium Energy is going to change the world for the better, and we invite investors and partners to support our efforts and do well while doing good.”
