| RDL Political Manifesto
Political Party or Religious Affiliations: None.
National Affiliations: None.
Actions Supported:
- Reducing use of fossil fuels [FF], approximately by 90%/person at home, work, for travel, transport or manufacturing (which, otherwise, results in four kinds of pollution: ie
- carbon dioxide [CO2]
- methane [CH4]
- nitrogen oxides [NO and NO2] and
- ozone [O3]).
All of the above result in lowering Global Warming, which otherwise melts glaciers, raises sea levels, and reduces water supplies for: - industrial manufacturing,
- plant life,
- food production and
- drinking water for live people,
- live animals and
- growing plants.
- Reducing production of cars, by 128 million [m], over next 21 years, whether FF or hydrogen fueled [HF]. At an average of $25,000/car, this reduces costs $3.2 trillion [t].
Production of 16m new Zero-CO2, HF-powered Gavin Hawks [GH], over the next 21 years. At an average of $50,000/GH with an average life of 10 years, this costs $0.8t, but doubles the capacity/vehicle-mile to carry passengers (which would lower the use of another 64m cars, ie to 128m fewer old or new cars on the road, over the 21 years, thus saving $2.4t. Reducing use of 32m cars on roads, to reduce by 50% of deaths and injuries and related costs for 80m former road users. This affects the $232 billion/year cost of medical treatment from road injuries.
- Reducing building roads, saving taxes, money and takeover of land from food production and other uses
- Reducing building of airplane airports and terminals, saving taxes, money and takeover of land from food production and other uses
- Reducing maintenance of roads, wherever they can be withdrawn and opened to other uses
- Increasing generation of electricity from sunlight, wind (while the sun shines or the wind blows), waves, tides and energy from below the surface of the Earth
- Increasing capture of heat energy from the Sun, while it shines, and storing it underground, nearby, for later use
- Increasing capture of heat energy from the earth and storing it underground, nearby, for later use
- Increasing production of hydrogen, ideally separating it by electrolysis from oxygen, in water [H2O]
- Increasing production of hydrogen in homes, businesses and small distributed plants, which avoids need for distribution systems for hydrogen and reduces distribution of FF for cars: To refuel vehicles, or to burn, or use, hydrogen in hydrogen fuel cells at homes, businesses and industrial plants. This avoids the cost of adapting distribution systems of between $2.2t-to-$20t, ~$11t.
- Increasing use of HF in homes, businesses and inductrial plants, air travel and personal and public transportation road vehicles, instead of FF, and
- Increasing generation of electricity in 51m people's homes, businesses, industrial plants
- Providing a HF alternative (GH) to FF powered airplanes for air travel for 80m passengers/day for 25-to-4500-mile, non-stop trips (to be extended to 10,000 mile trips). This eleminates the need for airports, terminals and wasted time, lives and injury by road accidents traveling to and from airports
- Providing HF powered GH to transport up to 80m troops/day
- Providing pilot/air-traffic-controller operating centers [PATCO] to train and manage pilot/air-traffic-controllers [PATC], to control taking off, travel, landing and protection of 8m GHs, carrying up to 80m passengers/ day, in flocks of up-to500 GHs/flock, carrying up-to-5,000 passengers/flock, including protection from accidents and terrorist attacks
- Providing 4000 PATC working in PATCOs, on the ground, on aircraft carriers or convoys of Amalric III
- Providing 600 Amalric III [AIII], operating independently or in convoys, to service and manage flocks of GH, including Gavin SuperSea Hawks [GSSH], (including producing HF, refueling GH and basing PATCO), to support and protect private and military travel across land and sea, rather than using roads, ships, airplanes, airports and aircraft carriers
- Providing GaviHas for living, working and learning in, or moving house, driven independently on the road or carried on trucks, lorries, trains or on Amalric III
- Providing GiaBats, based in homes, businesses, police and military bases (and carried by GHs) to observe conditions and situations and detect chemicals, to protect people and property from criminals and terrorists, and to cooperate with and control SuperGiaBats carrying weapons for police, naval and military use
- Avoid refueling of cars with HF, beside roads or highways, but refueling GH, and private and public vehicles, with HF produced at Utopian homes and businesses
- Support people who support most of the above at home
- Support people who support most of the above at work
- Support people who do not commute or travel in private cars
- Support people who do not travel, or transport goods, which use FFs or electricity generated by using FF
- Support people and firms who do not purchase or use goods produced or transported using FFs
- Support people and firms who train pilots/air-traffic-controllers [PATC] to control air travel to save travelers lives, avoid their injuries and costs for treatment, twice as effectively as is possible for road travelers
- Support PATC who avoid accidents
- Support PATC who prevent terrorist attacks on, or by use of, pilotless Gavin Hawk (autogyros) or pilotless Mother Hawks
- Support firms who support, at least some, of the above
- Support politicians who support all, or almost all of, the above.
RDL’s Plan supports all of these by designing and building 50 Utopian cities and 500 Mini-Utopia-Villages in the United Kingdom. For example, the first five Utopia (and 50 Mini-Utopia-Villages) will be built adjacent to London, over the next eight years. Up to 324,000 people would be living adjacent to (and, possibly, incorporated as boroughs into) London. At least half, ie 162,000 of the residents, would be of voting age and very likely to support the politicians who supported the creation of those cities.
The rest of the 50 Utopia (plus 500 Mini-Utopia-Villages) in the United Kingdom will be built adjacent to 10 other large cities, over the next ten or twelve years, with very similar results for 1.6m residents of voting age.
RDL's plan for the United States is offset by one year, to begin in 2010, and increase to 100 Utopia (plus 1,000 Mini-Utopia-Villages) in the next 10 to 12 years. The number of US Utopian residents of voting age goes up to at least 2.34m which should be enough to elect the most effective and enthusiastic supporter of RDL's Political Manifesto as President of the United States of America.
RDL also supports the above by its design, construction and operation of two PATC operating centers [PATCO], in the United Kingdom, which control safe air travel, especially in pilotless Gavin Hawks. It also supports and promotes design and construction of pilotless, Zero-CO2 Gavin Hawks for passenger travel and freight, without using roads.
RDL’s Practicality Rule is that reduction of pollution cannot be 100% enforced, on the first day. Their goal is 90% reduction by the end of the 22nd year (2030). This allows for time to design and build new facilities (such as Zero-CO2) Utopia cities, which include homes, businesses, industrial plants, communication systems, transportation systems, farms and water supply systems. As the new facilities come on line, at least an 80% reduction in pollution emissions is expected by newly resident Utopians.
Another 10% reduction of pollution can be achieved as additional Utopians become suppliers of the earlier Utopia and their residents, businesses and industrial plants. RDL also expects other suppliers, independent of RDL, will have reduced pollution emitted, in the process of producing products and services, making it easier for Utopians to buy their needed goods and services from non-Utopian sources, without breaching their 90% reduce-emissions goal. | |
