Elon Musk want to play a role in overcoming climate change. He also promised lucrative prizes, USD 100 million or around Rp. 14 trillion to scientists who can find a way to reduce levels of CO2 or carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Although he is eager to colonize Planet Mars, it is not impossible to even die there, Elon realizes that at this time humans only have Planet Earth. So climate change must be prevented because of the huge potential dangers in the future.
“At the moment we only have one planet. Even if there is only a 0.1 percent chance of a disaster, why not fix it? That’s crazy,” said the boss of Tesla and SpaceX.
As quoted detikINET from News.com Australia, Sunday (25/4/2021), the contest Elon Musk this is called Xprize Carbon Removal. Those interested in following are given four years to find the best possible solution, until the arrival of Earth Day in 2025.
The goal of this program is to remove 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the Earth’s atmosphere every year, with technology that can actually be implemented, at a cost that is reasonable and that it can also increase its ability to remove more CO2 in the future.
His bountiful gift, which comes from Musk pockets, is said to be the greatest in history. “I’m also still open to increasing the rewards over time,” Musk promised. Indeed, as one of the richest people in the world, the hundreds of millions of dollars amounted to nothing to him.
According to Elon Musk, at its current state, humanity on Earth is actually still doing well. However, if it continues to be complacent, the threat of climate change in the future can cause serious disruptions. How about scientists, interested in Elon Musk’s challenge?
