Tallahassee, FL (PRWeb) January 22, 2007 -- Dr. John N. O’Brien, President and CEO of Vista Energy Group, Inc. (www.vistaenergygroup.com) has been appointed to the nine-member Florida Energy Commission. The Commission will be charged with making recommendations to the legislature to establish a state energy policy based on principles of reliability, efficiency, affordability and diversity.

There is no single silver bullet solution. This will require a comprehensive examination of new types of energy sources and technologies comprising a mosaic of solutions,” said O’Brien.
Dr. O’Brien has expertise in restructuring and functioning of the electric and natural gas markets and infrastructure in the United States and Canada, investment banking and analysis in the energy sector; founding and building energy businesses, clean-coal technologies; generation plant siting, permitting and project finance, mergers and acquisitions, mineral-rights and royalty issues and energy-management and accounting systems.

Before joining Vista Energy, he served as president of Global Change Associates, principal at Skipping Stone, Inc., founder, president and CEO of Wheeled Electric Power Company, All Power Corporation, and Direct Gas Supply Corporation and served as full scientist in the Department of Nuclear Energy at the United States Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory.
