The Pitch:

Dr. Michael Cleary, an Irish citizen, has been Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT (~20
years) & now works on projects in Energy & Infrastructure. He has focused on technologies that can be game-changers in the vast developments needed to provide adequately for more of the ~10 Billion people that may occupy our planet by the end of the 21st Century. Conventional construction & transport is extremely (energy) wasteful & environmentally degrading, creating demand for hydrocarbon-based fuels (provided inefficiently, another focus for us).

This vicious circle cannot be broken by patchwork solutions (even so-called renewable energy projects): these do not address basic problems (cancerous evolution vs revolution). As governments now begin to deploy vast amounts for infrastructure "renewal", it's time-critical that they get a message that COMPLETE change is needed, not "business as usual". Although the boom of the last few decades "created wealth", it left behind or destroyed the lives of many people: our designs would raise the quality of life for most people, leaving natural habitats above-ground, while efficiently implementing (deep) underground resources & space to cost-effectively replace messy systems (still being built today). The technology involved also allows rapid transport and will have major aerospace applications in future.


The primary reason for our (belatedly hesitantly) submitting this approach to CNBC, e.g., for publicity, is to help get out a message as quickly as possible & solicit interest. Although some technologies (we have developed) require testing, we cannot wait for another cycle of wasted investment & projects claiming "carbon-neutrality" (most are not). Our business plan is to market & license designs to governments & agencies, charging a percentage of any projects developed: the goal is long-term but profits should arrive sooner. Resources Engineering Systems (our company) would share those profits with (international) agencies who strive simultaneously to improve the condition of the poor (worldwide).
