Cleantech Transit Inc. (OTC.BB:CLNO) is in the business of producing and conserving power. Cleantech produces and sells clean electricity globally, with a focus on sustainable energies using renewable resources such as Geothermal, Solar and Wind. Cleantech’s goal is to use innovative technologies to reduce electricity consumption and dependence on carbon based energy.
A huge percentage of the world�s fossil fuels come from the world�s most volatile places. By reducing your use of oil derivatives, you reduce dependence on foreign energy sources, increasing our country�s energy security by converting energy from waste.
Biomass Fuel will help Limit Dependence on Foreign Oil.
Part of the big picture involves the Middle East and other foreign oil producing nations. With such dependence on petroleum products for fuel, there is always a tension between the need for petroleum and foreign sanctions when there is a need to sanction one or more of those countries.
As biomass fuel becomes more available and as such, the dependence on outside sources of fossil fuel will become much less necessary.
Cleantech Transit Inc. was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector. The Company has expanded its focus to invest directly in specific green projects that can maximize shareholder value. Recognizing the many economic and operational advances of converting wood waste into renewable sources of energy, Cleantech has selected to invest in Phoenix Energy (www.phoenixenergy.net). This project can generate shareholder returns as well benefit the Company’s manufacturing clients worldwide.
