Vu sur Wikinomics:

"Virgin’s Richard Branson along with Al Gore is launching an open initiative to find new approaches for reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. The goal is to find an efficient way of removing one billion tones of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually - for ten years. Innovators have 5 years to make a submission. The winner will receive $5 million up front with another $20 million after the ten year period.

Branson and Gore’s Virgin Earth Challenge seeks to leverage the innovative capacity of the entire world to solve this truly global problem. Their open approach has been validated in successful initiatives such as the Ansari X Prize, an effort to build a private space vehicle that became the catalyst for space tourism. It is also reminiscent of Rob McEwen’s Goldcorp Challenge which successfully sought to find new methods for finding gold.
