About Thane Ritchie Sustainable Energy and Ecology
Thane Ritchie Sustainable Energy and Ecology was created to help highlight stories, promote ideas, and present solutions to the problems our world faces in the areas of energy and ecology as we move into the future. As we go forward we must find more stable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly ways to produce energy. We must also turn away from the current corporate led paths of planned obsolescence and the mantra of consumption; “buy it, then throw it away”. If we don’t get a handle on ways to produce plentiful green energy and work on ways to sustain our earth, instead of destroying it, our destiny is uncertain.
