Clean Energy and Coastal Development in Underdeveloped Nations

We have created a pilot project and proposal for the development of coastal regions in currently underdeveloped nations. This project aims to demonstrate the viability of utilizing local geographical features, traditional local skills and new industrial opportunities for the improvement and not to the detriment of local populations.

We have based this proposal in regard to the coastal area of Pakistan upon:

A perception of extraordinary opportunity in the Pakistan coastal region ( Balochistan).
The stated developmental goals of Pakistan.
Our mission to integrate economic, environmental and social solutions.

An Environmental and Technological Approach
to the Development of Coastal Regions,

as Exemplified Via a Proposal to Develop Balochistan, Pakistan

Visage Inc. introduces a socially and environmentally conscious approach to the modernization of Balochistan based on new methods of commercial development for coastal areas from the Hab River to the border of Iran, and for areas inland to the Central Makran Range and to Quetta. This proposal is designed to conform in its entirety to the conservation and reconstruction objectives of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and to lay a strategic foundation suitable both for the present and for the century ahead. As such, Visage proposes a win/win alliance between the world’s foremost energy and environmental scientists and the Government of Pakistan, inclusive of the Government of Balochistan, to create a world class showcase for coastal and regional development demonstrating a new integrated protocol for beauty, ecology, and prosperity that draws tourism resulting in revenue in the billions for Pakistan.

1) Land and Climate Considerations
Balochistan offers climatic and geological conditions relatively similar to the state of California, inclusive of semi-desert arid conditions, lack of water, pervasive earthquake zones, sandy and rocky coast line, and nearby mountain ranges. As such, it is quite possible to do what California has done by turning a seemingly inhospitable area into an international oasis for business, agriculture and tourism, boasting some of the highest standards of coastal real estate and industry in the world. In this regard, Visage perceives that Balochistan has an opportunity to take a leap forward through the utilization of leading edge environmental technologies, inclusive of energy production, irrigation and transportation to create integrated business, agricultural and residential systems which surpass international standards for cost effectiveness, efficiency and long term viability.

2) Environmental Technology - Brief Summary
Environmental technology has developed markedly in the last decade, producing a vast range of proven and available products. For example, high speed magnetic levitation railways are now underway in Japan, Germany, England and the United States, having proven the success and cost effectiveness of a low petroleum form of mass transit. Likewise, water purification technology has achieved a breakthrough in desalination capability and cost effectiveness, thus opening a secure and inexhaustible source of drinking and irrigation water from the ocean, a viable consideration for the entire coastal area of Pakistan. Similarly, there are new composite environmental building materials which are more durable, earthquake resistant and affordable than the old standard, along with vastly improved sewage and recycling systems available for large scale implementation. By integrating virtually all these technologies and more, and by laying down a growth oriented framework and environmentally sound infrastructure, all other future development will be modular plug-ins, certified through a stringent environmental protocol.

Working with the PECP
Visage proposes to work closely with the Pakistan Environmental Pollution Council and the Ministry of Environment in the design and implementation of all phases of this proposal. With a specific regard to environmental technologies and pollution control, we include an excerpt from an article by AMER M. KAYANI in a publication from INDUSTRY SECTOR ANALYSIS (ISA) dated 990101 in reference to Pakistan Pollution Control Equipment.

“The present total market for pollution control equipment stands at USD 29 million and is expected to climb to USD 39 million by the year 2001. The market is dominated by imports except for equipment such as incinerators produced in the country for the safe disposal of solid and liquid waste.

The Government of Pakistan (GOP) assigns top priority to environmental protection and pollution control programs. The Pakistan Environmental Pollution Council (PEPC), a statutory body, guides and supervises the Ministry of Environment, Local Government and Rural Development in evolving appropriate strategies to control environmental hazards in close cooperation with various national and international agencies.”

In addition to environmental, financial and esthetic considerations, such development would respect and accommodate culturally sensitive community issues, inclusive of the rights of tribal peoples and the welfare of local inhabitants throughout all areas of development.

The coastline development project would initially fund and develop high-speed mag-lev mass transit (please see enclosure) along the coast of Balochistan which in turn would serve the development of seven cities as centers of prosperity along the coast as follows:

Three Main Cities (within five years)
A).Trade City Tourist Showcase:
Kalmat Lagoon and Makola area, build ecological and commercial showcase for Pakistan commerce, to complement and interact with new satellite based e-commerce
B).Industrial Power City:
Heavy emphasis on clean production of steel, plastic and chemicals, coastal area near Gwadar extending to Iran border
C). Agricultural City:
Miani Hor area, light industy and heavy emphasis on produce, international export, interacting with coastal area from Ormara to Hab River. Also link to the Pakistan Postal Up-grade proposal.

Four Small Fishing Cities (within four years)
We propose the large scale modernization of fishing practices based around four major pre-existing fishing communities, long-term stock planning and expansion, and new fishing canneries. Such operations will have new technological abilities to provide fresh fish packed in ice which can be speedily sent via high speed electric magnetic levitation railway to international airports and onto to marketplaces worldwide. Fishing related industries implemented for international sales.

6) Overall Regional Planning:
Supporting these centers, and the proposed electric highway, a comprehensive ecologically viable city planning could be tailored to fit the purpose of each area. Regional planning would include, but not be limited to:

Gas Energy: 20 natural gas power plants which additionally produce steam distilled drinking water and irrigation water, placed five miles inland along the length of coastal Balochistan.
Wind Energy: Wind farms on ridges + harnessing monsoons ranging from 10 to 35 knots
Solar: New solar voltaic technology makes economically sound opportunity of naturally hot climate
Transportation-pollution free coastal mag-lev railway based on clean hydro-electricity production
Agricultural: irrigation, soil mineral/nutrient modification for expanded crop selection, export markets, modern packaging for preservation and high-speed transport
Dams: Flash Flood Management: more and smaller strategic dams in flood areas
Sewage/waste management: new piping and processing systems
Purified drinking water: Can make national supply from desalinization technology
Satellite based broadcasting and telephone/computer systems improving efficiency of international communication and commerce

This far reaching, interconnected developmental project would complement and facilitate existing policies toward decentralization and devolution, for empowering and upgrading village life, and for enhanced public feedback and monitoring channels from the local level, per Pakistan’s Local Government Plan 2000. The project would also complement a range of current developmental plans inclusive of the upgrading of airports, and motorway reconstruction to connect major ports with central areas. Connected by clean, high-speed transit and internet, citizens can turn cottage industries into international operations, with abilities to speak through the internet to any one in the nation, or on the globe. Highly profitable industry would integrate charitable mandates to build hospitals, orphanages etc. in high need areas.

We thank you most sincerely for taking the time to consider the potential of such large scale development. We hope that you will be interested in reviewing feasibility reports on the energy, transportation, irrigation and water-making technologies proposed, as these pathways currently exist as shining opportunities despite intense multi-national corporate influence to sell dirty and obsolete technologies to emerging nations. We most humbly urge you to consider the counsel proposed herein for the world’s foremost scientists to represent a fresh view unbeholden to industry. With the deep investigation required, and resultant potential support and authorization of the Pakistan government, Visage will be able to secure the funding necessary to assist Pakistan in a pathway toward socially and environmentally viable development as has never occurred in human history.

1) Four Lane Mag-Lev Highway

Visage proposes the initiation of a high speed electric magnetic levitation (Mag-Lev) railway system (running at a safe minimum of 300 mph) comparable to currently existing Mag-Lev electric railways in Japan, Germany and Britain. Major plans are underway for a series of US Mag Levs connecting commercial cities including Los Angeles. The proposed Balochistan Mag-Lev would be designed to carry passengers and cargo throughout Balochistan and to international air and sea transport. Anticipated future interface with New Pakistan Postal Portal bar coding destination specification system, with electricity derived from hydro and solar-electric sources for cost savings. Potential interface with larger nationwide mag-lev.

What: A 600 kilometers/500 mile four lane Mag-Lev Highway with passing lanes and pullout lanes.
A) Passenger
B) Freight
C) Postal
D) Adjacent utility corridor along entire coastal route for electrical /natural gas/water/telephone with easy access for maintenance and long life.

Electric source:Natural gas run generators along the coastway placed three to five miles inland. These are small power plants that produce electricity and drinking water / irrigation water from ocean water. Ocean water can be filtered and pumped though irrigation systems all the way to northern areas. This electricity and water will run industry, and the mag-lev transportation and irrigation water pumps that transfer water along the developing coastal cities including Karachi.

Why: Safe, pollution free, low reliance of petroleum
Cost effective: Mag-Lev not subject to international oil prices or in need of high maintenance
Weather resistant: Mag-Levs operate well in heavy rain, snow and ice
Extremely low pollution, and eliminates need for highly polluting diesel and combustion engines
Safety enhanced through lack of contact with rail surface
Encourages international export market
Highly efficient and secure postal/cargo delivery.
Eliminates black-market smuggling through high security technology based on barcode system which defines weight, quantity, destination, contents, timeline, etc, such that objects cannot be padded with drugs, or delayed and siphoned, or rerouted.

Who: Visage to arrange financing, pending authorization by Balochistan/Pakistan government.
When: Summer 2001
Where: Coastal Balochistan
How: Railway built along coast
Major underground terminals (Sheds) will be several stories of storage and sorting and rerouting facilities, with loading platforms for trucks, airport and seaport electric trains.
Barcode based technology runs unmanned cargo trains
Trains are composed of 10 foot cells which fit standard airplane cargo holds,

Results:Speedy efficient commerce, promotes new industries and communities to spring forth along system, attracting population out of overcrowded city areas and toward modern attractive and ecological housing and communities for those who make the move.

What is Maglev?
An article from the following source:
<http://www.bwmaglev.com/what_maglev/whatmaglevfrmset.html>

We also recommend related articles on the extensive Japanese maglev system, which has the most sophisticated mag-lev technology (in existence.

Background
Maglev Technology is short for "magnetic levitation" and is an entirely different form of transportation than most Americans are familiar with riding. While American trains have a wheel and tracks and seldom sustain speeds of 80 miles per hour or more, Maglev has a contactless electromagnetic support system that lifts and propels the train or vehicle forward with speeds in excess of 240 miles per hour.

Maglev technology has been researched since the 1960's, but it is only recently that prototypes are being built. Governments, including the United States, are seriously looking at Maglev as a new, convenient and fast way to travel into the next century. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is taking the lead on bringing Maglev to the U.S.

"High-speed rail demonstrates President Clinton's commitment to safety as the highest transportation priority and helps build the transportation system for the new millennium," U.S. DOT Secretary Rodney Slater said. "The American people will benefit from safe comfortable, reliable, high-speed passenger service, which provides an attractive option for travel between major urban centers and helps cities manage the increased congestion that is expected."

In May, 1999, as part of the Maglev Deployment Program, the FRA named the Baltimore-Washington corridor as one of seven finalists for future Maglev development. This 40-mile long project links Downtown Baltimore and B.W.I. Airport with Washington, D.C. Future connections include Philadelphia, New York and Boston to the North, and Richmond, Raleigh and Charlotte to the South.

Other finalists' corridors include:
The first 40 miles of a 110-mile project linking Atlanta, Georgia to Chattanooga, Tennessee
A 42- mile project linking Las Vegas to Primm, Nevada with future development to Oakland, California
A 45-mile project linking Pittsburgh Airport to Pittsburgh and its eastern suburbs. Future plans include routes to Harrisburg and Philadelphia

A 70 to 75-mile system connecting Los Angeles International Airport to Union Station to downtown Los Angeles to Ontario Airport and into Riverside County.
A 40-mile project linking New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal to the airport and across Lake Pontchartrain to the Northern suburbs.
A 20-mile project linking Port Canaveral to the Kennedy Space Center and Titusville Space Coast Regional Airport, Florida.

Technology
Leading the technology race is Germany with a design called the Transrapid. Transrapid technology utilizes conventional electromagnets and forces of attraction to levitate the train. Close behind Germany is Japan with an entirely different design involving superconducting magnets to generate huge repulsive forces to levitate the train. Germany's technology is ready for commercial production, while Japan's technology is still in the experimental phase. The MTA has selected Transrapid for the technology that it will use.

Speed
Because the operation of the vehicle occurs without physical contact, high speeds are an inherent characteristic of Maglev. Speeds up to 300 miles per hour are possible compared to commercial rail today that usually reaches 100 miles per hour. Maglev and the speed at which it can travel make short trips usually traveled by commuter air flights now possible by train.

Safety
Independent experts have examined the safety of the Maglev system and their work revealed that at present, the Maglev system is the world's safest available means of transport. The Transrapid is 20 times safer than the airplane; 250 times safer than conventional railways; and 700 times greater than traveling by road. Despite the high speeds, passengers on board Maglev do not need to wear seat belts and can move about inside the vehicle at all times. Also, derailments are impossible because the Maglev vehicle surrounds its guideway. This guideway is normally elevated with no intersection and other traffic so collisions with motor vehicles are impossible.

Environment
The number of people traveling by air is on the increase with projections at most of America's airports showing significant increase in passenger travel delays over the next ten years. Airplanes queuing up to take off and land can be a burden on our environment and inconvenience to travelers. Transferring air traffic to the more environmentally compatible Maglev technology could provide important benefits to our environment and city-to-city travel. In addition, there are no emissions of exhaust or other pollutants.

Magnetic Fields
The intensity of the magnetic field effects of the Maglev system is extremely low. They are comparable with the Earth's magnetic field and hence lie well below those of everyday household devices. A hair dryer, a toaster or an electric sewing machine are all surrounded by considerably stronger magnetic fields than those which occur in the passenger compartment of the Maglev vehicle. And outside the vehicle, along the route, the magnetic fields are considerably lower. Therefore, negative influences on cardiac pacemakers or magnetic cards, like credit cards, are ruled out.

Comfort
Contactless technology ensures absolute smooth running without rolling and engine noise. The high speed is hardly perceptible inside the vehicle. Passengers can move around at all times with starting and braking feeling similar to riding an inter-city train. Jolts and jerks are virtually non-existent with the Maglev system.

Video of Maglev Technology in action
Transrapid, the world's first Maglev railway system to be declared ready for operation is speeding across the German countryside in this video clip. When the Federal Railroad Administration selects a single corridor for funding, design, and construction in 2003, the Baltimore-Washington Maglev could be put into similar operation as soon as 2010.

Balochistan Modern Trade City

The proposed Balochistan Modern Trade City (MTC) will showcase the best of Pakistan culture and products set within the context of 5 star restaurants, hotels and a luxury resort atmosphere, drawing tourists, buyers and investors to the Pakistan economy. Majestic domes and fluid, non-angular spaces will resonate the beauty and style of the Taj Mahal and the harmonious architectural ambiance of the King Akbar dynasty. Spectacular shopping malls and convention centers will offer a spacious, bright and airy atmosphere surrounded by glass, marble, and natural and artistic lighting. Solar voltaic cells set within the glass walls and roofs will provide additional electricity for this modern ecological and architectural wonder. The MTC will offer stylistically diverse international business centers, international banks, international entertainment and dining ranging from haut cuisine to trendy cafe). Once open, tourists and interested buyers can choose to browse Pakistan’s products, and international products, via direct contact at the shopping centers or through internet cafes, where shopping and socializing can come together surrounded by the cultural beauty of South Asia.

The MTC will be nestled into a beautiful bay with gorgeous natural scenery which will be mirrored by extraordinary indoor and outdoor landscaping including hanging gardens throughout. A priority of this project will be to preserve the ecological sanctity of the local and national environment, and provide a higher standard of living for local inhabitants. Rather than re-creating a standard, box-shaped Western city in Asia, this project will create an ultramodern, environmentally efficient city of commerce whose theme and style honors and celebrates the beauty of Pakistan’s rich and diverse cultural heritage, and whose revenue supports the whole of Pakistan’s future.

How does the MTC relate to E-Commerce?
The proposed Modern Trade City will be posted via a vast spectrum of web sites which can integrate with the Pakistan Postal e-commerce project to attract and serve a new wave of international buyers, investors and tourists. The Modern Trade City will provide a comprehensive and dazzling showcase of Pakistan’s wares as well as feature the benefits of a new extraordinarily efficient electric transport/railway system which can integrate with the Pakistan Post Office high speed proposed nationwide electric railway cargo transport.

Agricultural City and Townships

This proposal seeks to converge existing agricultural practices in Pakistan with leading edge environmentally viable agribusiness. Technologically sophisticated agribusiness can bring widespread irrigation to Balochistan as a whole with a concentration of farming communities from Ormara to the Hab River area. These farming communities can be newly connected by high speed rail, as well as flown by Pakistan Postal Aviation to international locations. Farming communities would converge in a central Agricultural City in the area of Miani Hor which might be designed as both an agribusiness and attractive tourist center. The agribusiness would include all forms of produce, cotton, and the vast expansion of the flower growing market for international export.

Background
As rangelands cover 93 percent of the Balochistan province, and as nomadic has been a way of life for centuries, it is clear that a social and topographical viability exists supporting the application of diverse modern irrigation and farming methods to the region.

Current conditions of draught and overgrazing, and use of antiquated farming methods have caused severe degradation and economic hardship for farmers and farmland in Balochistan. Pro-active policies have produced positive results, however, in such places as the Kanak Valley, with the implementation of social fencing promoting beneficial agricultural protocol, along with the planting of locally appropriate and multifunctional indigenous plant species along with lower cost water harvesting methods.

Irrigation:
Natural gas run generators along the coastway placed three to five miles inland. These are small power plants that produce electricity and drinking water / irrigation water from ocean water. Ocean water can be filtered and pumped though irrigation systems all the way to northern areas. This electricity and water will run industry, as well as the mag-lev electric transportation.

Desalination technology has attained cost effectiveness and efficiency enabling the production of limitless amounts of water from the inexaustable resource of the sea. Reverse osmosis technology removes toxins and solids and can be further treated with minerals etc. for specific crop application. The specific purification technology and business we recommend will provide inherent 75% profit allocations for Balochistan community support, including ongoing and secure provisions for local hospitals, orphanages and educational centers in the vicinity of each water production plant. Other alternatives like gated pipe irrigation ( a type of surface irrigation in which the conventional main ditch and field lateral ditch) are replaced by above ground gated pipeline. This system can save 30% of water and energy and extend cropping land compared with conventional ditch method. (1)

Soil:
Specialization in multipurpose crops as well as soil mineral/nutrient modification for expanded crop selection, export markets, modern packaging for preservation and high-speed transport via new rail and aviation in connection with existing Pakistan Postal Aviation.

Pest Control
Strategic crop landscaping “companion farming”, crop rotation and other soil enhancing methods will discourage pests by providing attractants outside the harvest zone, and deterrents within the harvest zone.
Additionally, pest-resistant plant varieties, natural plant-based pesticides, and beneficial microbes will reduce pest population, in many cases along with standard pesticide deployment. In other cases, steam treatment may be more appropriate. Studies have shown that this technique - which involves heating water to 150 degrees Celsius and applying it to soils - can be as effective as methyl bromide, at half the price.

Packaging
Produce cut at peak hours and packaged by leading edge technology has a far improved chance of surviving transport with little to no decline in quality. Large packing housing and grainery storage facilities can be established with an emphasis on pest control. These complexes for wheat, rice, corn and other grains. In this way, large volume export markets can develop. Therefore, enhanced integration between harvesting, packaging and transport must occur to ensure that produce not only arrives at destinations on schedule, but in peak condition.

Refrigeration
Hydroelectricity will supply power for high tech refrigeration of produce immediately upon cutting and during transport.

Transport of Produce
Dangerous and unreliable road transport has given rise to planning for coastal roads and ferry transport. Visage proposes an expansion of existing planning to include high speed mag-lev railway, with standard speeds of 300 mph and direct links to airports, ensuring quality and encouraging the export market.

Agri-Tourism
Agricultural tourism has also been referred to as ‘Agritourism’ and ‘Agriculturally based leisure attractions’. Agricultural tourism is the visitation of agricultural attractions as part of a leisure time activity. Agricultural tourism may include visits to dude ranches, pick your own farms, roadside stands, farm or ranch bed and breakfasts, agricultural festivals and fairs and food processing facilities (such as dairies, packing plants, etc.). Agricultural tourists are interested in having a farm experience and incidentally, want to buy agricultural and food products.

Agriculture and tourism can be seen to share a lot in common in Balochistan. They both depend in
part on nature, the weather and the quality of natural resources. They both can include large numbers of family-run businesses, as well as larger business. Individuals in both industries are becoming aware that good marketing including web-marketing is a key to success of the industry and of individual businesses . Eating and drinking establishments that serve tourists are in an excellent position to help promote local agricultural products through what they serve and the information they provide on their menus. Farms that sell products directly to visitors can help attract large numbers of visitors to a community. These visitors may also buy meals, lodging and other items from businesses that serve tourists.

As explained above, any time farmers or ranchers sell their products or services directly to the final user they are engaged in direct farm (or ranch) marketing. Some examples of direct farm marketing include pick your own orchards and farms, roadside stands, and farmers’ markets. Related farm marketing activities include selling directly to restaurants, and on-farm restaurants or restaurants with their own ‘kitchen’ gardens and orchards (currently the rage in California). Large numbers of direct farm marketing operations exist in other states. Extension specialists in Wisconsin and Michigan estimate there are over a 1,000 such enterprises in each of their states.

Consequently, farmers and ranchers interested in selling to agricultural tourists, need to be aware that they are selling services as well as products.

Four Small Fishing Cities

Within a time span of four years four fishing cities can be modernized based around approximately 40 pre-existing fishing communities, and new fishing canneries. Such operations will have new technological abilities to provide fresh fish packed in ice which can be speedily sent via high speed electric magnetic levitation railway to international airports and onto to marketplaces worldwide. This will vastly and very quickly uplift Balochistan fishing villages without displacing employees or community leadership. These upgrade modalities will quickly increase international demand, and thus enlarge operations providing new jobs for Pakistanis who may choose to relocate from overcrowded cities. Such expansion will be based above all on guidelines set forth by the government of Pakistan integrating policies regarding stocking, over fishing and improved handling protocol.

These future fishing cities estimated to achieve populations of 100,000 or more will have new machine shops for repair, net making and the production of their own ships for local and international sales. All components of fishing business and life, from nets to clothing can be made locally and sold both locally and internationally. Unlike Norwegian or Alaskan fishing industries which are seasonal, this area can offer year round harvesting and sales. Additionally, there can be an expansion of the Pakistan Coast Guard to ensure that any international boats are paying proper duty, bringing income to Pakistan.

Industrial

The Gwadar area would be greatly developed for heavy industry including raw materials and the production of manufactured goods.

Industrial
Steel manufacturing/foundries
Chemicals plus Petrochemicals
Pharmecueticals
Plastics
Oil Refineries
Toxic Waste Management
Auto Industry / electrical vehicles/trucks/buses/RV/boats
Glass industry
Tires/Rubber
Paint Industry
Package manufacturing equipment of all types ( cans, plastic, glass, cardboard etc.)
Paper mills and recycling integration
Cement and building materials
Mining and Refining

Pollution:
We handle water and pollution devices for international plants.
Their plants with mandatory and monitored ecological purifyers, overseen by new environmental protocol.
Plastics, chemicals, need new protocol to go on and off ships


Eco-Economics:

Example:

Ships planned for a future Gwadar port could be instead directed to Tombs point which is naturally deep water where new storage and pumping stations can be built, enabling the transfer of multiple kinds of chemicals and of fluids for export/import. Like a gas station for ships. Advantages are that the sandy and marshy area of Gwadar does not need to be dug out and accessed by ships, and can instead be easily sand barred for future construction and profitable development.

Additionally, we anticipate that the Mag-Lev business could go on to assist Iran after demonstrating its first trans- national cargo and passenger transport value. This too could be a product that Pakistan could promote with pride.
Preliminary Financial Considerations

Brokering and Leasing
Financial brokering and leasing can be marketing to corporations around the world. Such projected investments will pay for the infrastructure over a 25 year period. With a strong holiday tax program to encourage international and plenty of prime ocean resort and business property, it will be feasible to draw the world’s top corporate executives into long term joint ventures with Pakistan. Coupled with IMF funding, and the assistance of employment for Afghanistan refugees in a five year program, the entire infrastructure could be completed encouraging more people to move into the area creating a foreseeable two million jobs and resultant leap in revenue. Visage will create and oversee all such investments for this developmental project through SEGI Inc.

The Local Government design is based on five fundamentals: devolution of political power, decentralisation of administrative authority, deconcentration of management functions, diffusion of the power-authority nexus, and distribution of resources to the district level. It is designed to ensure that the genuine interests of the people are served and their rights safeguarded. The new system will create an enabling environment in which the people can start participating in community welfare and be the decision makers for their own destiny.
