Elon Musk’s $100 Million XPrize & the Catalytic Role of Climate Philanthropy: Happy Earth Day

Today, the XPRIZE Carbon Removal team hosted a Twitter Spaces session announcing the 15 companies that were selected in the first round to receive a $1 million prize. At the end of the session, Marcius Extavour was kind enough to take a question that’s been on my mind ever since I heard about the $100 Million Carbon Removal XPrize sponsored by the Musk Foundation. The dialogue between Marcius and Dr. Jonathan Foley was so good that I thought it would be valuable to reproduce it with some light editing.
