Musk Funding $100M Prize for … Carbon Removal!

By Rebecca Terrell

DOGE darling Elon Musk is putting up $100 million for development of carbon dioxide removal technology.

It’s touted as the “largest incentive prize in history” and “an extraordinary milestone” on the website XPRIZE.org. That’s the non-profit fronting the project, and the Musk Foundation is funding it.

“XPRIZE Carbon Removal is aimed at tackling the biggest threat facing humanity — fighting climate change and rebalancing Earth’s carbon cycle,” claims the non-profit in a statement that holds an ironic double-meaning, depending on how you read it.

“Fighting climate change” is “the biggest threat facing humanity”? Actually, we’d agree that using so-called man-made climate change as a ruse to enslave people is certainly a huge threat facing us all.

But that’s not what XPRIZE and its multi-million-dollar donor mean, is it?

“The planet is reaching its highest temperatures in over 3 million years,” spins a promotional video. “We need the largest incentive prize in history to help solve it.”

The video posits that removing “excess CO₂ from the atmosphere and oceans” will restore “Earth’s carbon balance” — whatever that means. In fact, neither XPRIZE nor the Musk Foundation offer data to justify any of their fallacious claims. That’s probably because actual data prove otherwise time and time again.

XPRIZE launched its carbon removal project in 2019 when 1,300 teams from 88 countries threw their hats in the ring. Competitors were charged with removing carbon from air, oceans, land, and rocks.

In 2023, XPRIZE selected 20 finalists. To win, contestants must remove and sequester 1,000 tons of CO₂ per year from the atmosphere and must demonstrate the potential to scale to gigaton level by 2050. The grand-prize winner will walk away with $50 million, and the runners up will split the remaining funds, minus unspecified “operational funding” mentioned on the XPRIZE site.

Winners will be announced Earth Day, April 22, 2025. — RT

STAND YOUR GROUND: Fight the CO₂ Pipelines

Big News! Premier Showing! Sign up now for the free, online live viewing of our powerful new documentary, Unearthing the CO₂Pipeline. This viewing will also include the bonus of a live webinar featuring commentary by, and a Q&A with, Mike Boyle and TNA Senior Editor Rebecca Terrell. You do not want to miss this. Mark the date: April 22, Earth Day. It’s just a coincidence, of course, that April 22 is also the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, the mass-murdering Bolshevik founder of the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, carbon-capture pipelines are but the latest of the Enviro-Leninists’ weapons of mass destruction aimed at complete obliteration of our economy and our freedoms.

It is a huge mistake to assume that the CO₂ pipeline threat is an issue that only affects the Midwest corn belt. Carbon-capture pipeline projects are in various stages of planning and/or construction in states from coast to coast. This is a major part of Agenda 2030, the Green New Deal, and the Great Reset. The New American and The John Birch Society have been in the forefront of this battle. Rebecca Terrell has been reporting on this issue for years and has been on the ground meeting with and interviewing key players (farmers, ranchers, state legislators, county commissioners, congressmen, and coalition leaders) in the pipeline fight. She has become the leading expert on this vital topic and the driving force behind this blockbuster documentary.
