The RDL Story Organized --
Firstly as an English Company
called Real Div Ltd [RDL], pronounced “riddle”, but easier to understand. When, in March 2008. How does RDL work? — In one or more of four different
ways: 1.
As the Managing Joint Venture Partner [MJVP] 2.
As an Organizing Joint Venture Partner [OJVP] 3.
As the Joint Venture Partner-Consultant
[JVP-C] to a Joint Venture, or 4.
As a Joint Venture Partner [JVP] of a JV. RDL
is the first OJVP. It organizes joint ventures set up for the purpose
explained below, to operate primarily in the United Kingdom [UK].
As each of these joint ventures are organized, the details of who are the
joint venture partners [OJVP, MJVP, JVP-C and JVPs] and what they will be doing,
will be added to the last part of this document.
Gavin Embry [GE] has already organized RDL. But, it will most likely be
necessary to form other OJVPs to operate in other countries, in other
jurisdictions,. This will be also be done by appropriate OJVPs, as needs arise. Why?
-- Firstly,
to spearhead reductions
in the UK’s contribution to reducing Green House Gas [GHG] emissions,
especially Carbon Dioxide [CO2], in a new city. This also functions as a pilot
project prior to the construction of succeeding new cities. Secondly,
it
is to expand these reductions via 63 more new cities in the UK, over six more
years. Finally,
follow
up these reductions, in six other Continents, via 837 new cities over 22 more
years. Start-up Position in the UK – Currently, the rate of GHG
emissions/person, in the UK, is about 10 tons of CO2 (the
largest threat to the climate) per year. RDL’s
first target is to help 3,150,000 UK residents eliminate 90% of their CO2
emissions by the end of 2015, ie a reduction from 10 tons to one
ton/year/person. Goals in the UK -- RDL plans building of one new city,
called
Utopium Alpha, near London, a large pilot project, to help
people reduce their CO2 emissions. The
first, and each additional Utopia, accommodates 50,000 residents
and 1500 businesses. Each year, the number of Utopia built in the
UK doubles: ie 1,2,4,8,16,32, total of 63, by the end of 2015.
The number of people helped by the end of 2010, and of each following year, will
also double: ie 50k, 100k, 200k, 400k, 800k, 1,600k. This adds up
to a grand total, in the UK, of 3,150,000 people.
The reductions in CO2 emissions by the people helped will
also be doubled by the end of each year, following 2010:

27,900k tons/year
53,100k tons Results in the UK On average, the current distribution of energy needs
provided by fossil fuel is: 1.
20% (2 tons) for using cars, mostly for commuting to work
or school and some shopping. RDL’s Target: 0% from fossil fuels, which
produces CO2 2.
20% (2 tons) related to energy used in the home. RDL’s:
0%, ditto 3.
40% (4 tons) related to energy used for air travel and
transportation of goods by rail and road. RDL’s Target: 0%, ditto 4.
20% (2 tons) energy used in manufacture and maintenance of
buildings, roads, railroads, and manufactured goods and production of food on
farms and in factories. RDL’s Target: 10%, ie one half of 20%. In the UK, RDL’s Total Target is 10%, ie 1
ton/person/year, of CO2 emissions. Basic Strategies
2. Initial energy requirements are furnished: a) to build new homes and businesses, b) for resident’s and worker’s use, c) energy, after construction and for public transportation (as much as are economically feasible) will be provided by a central electricity generation plant, using Sun light, sky light, wind and tidal sources, referred to hereinafter as Zero-CO2 sources. Zero-CO2 sources will provide electricity in the daytime-Sun-light and from the wind while it blows, covering current requirements, plus used to generate hydrogen for fuel as needed, and for hydrogen fuel cells to supply electricity whenever it is not available from other Zero-CO2 sources. Each new house, business and industrial plant inside the Utopium will have independent access to: a) photovoltaic panels, b) solar heat panels, c) wind driven electricity generators, d) access to underground heat supplies, e) underground storage for heat supplies, f) water, g) an electrolysis facility to produce hydrogen from water, h) storage facilities for storage of hydrogen and i) hydrogen fuel cells to produce electricity, j) a roof, or garden, mounted platform for vertical takeoff and landing of up to 6-person autogyros. (Initially, Utopia occupied before the end of 2012, include a mini-airport with two 250-feet long runways to serve about 100 autogyros. Independent forty-feet wide platforms will be added later, either a) as stated in 1., above, or b) in groups near each group of about 50 houses, supporting five, shared, autogyros/platform.)
