Prize
If ever there was a techno-optimist, it’s Elon Musk. And unlike others, his belief in the power of innovation has a track record of success, with PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla. Now Musk is funding a $100 million XPRIZE for whoever, in the next four years, comes up with a scalable technology that can remove carbon from the Earth’s biosphere. This may be just the boost that carbon capture and storage (CCS) advocates need, after years of multinational and government investment and very little to show for it. If nothing else, it will inject urgency and creativity into climate solutions.
