U-Elon Musk, umsunguli we-SpaceX, uthetha ngeSatellite 2020 kwiziko leNgqungquthela yaseWashington ngoMatshi 9, 2020, eWashington, DC.I-BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / AFP ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty Ukusukela ngoku ngoSuku loMhlaba i-2025 (ngo-Epreli 22), izazinzulu kunye neenjineli kwihlabathi liphela banethuba lokuphumelela ukuya kuthi ga kwi-100 yezigidi zeedola kwimali yebhaso kwi-Tesla kunye ne-CEO ye-SpaceX U-Elon Musk —Ukuba banokufumana indlela ekhuselekileyo nexabisayo yokususa ikharbon diokside esibhakabhakeni baze bayigcine kude kangangeminyaka eli-100.
Ibhaso liyinxalenye yenyathelo elitsha likaMusk lokupha kunye nomnikelo omkhulu awakhe wawenza. Wachaza isicwangciso ngoJanuwari emva konyaka we-Tesla esitokisini esamenza ukuba abe ngumntu ocebile kakhulu kwihlabathi kunye ne-203 yezigidigidi zeedola. (Ngexesha lokushicilela, uMusk ngumntu wesibini ocebile kakhulu emhlabeni, emva kukaJeff Bezos, enexabiso elixabisa i-185 yezigidigidi zeedola.)
Ibhaso iya kuba yeyona inkuthazo inkulu kwimbali, ngokwe-XPRIZE engenzi nzuzo, ebamba ukhuphiswano. I-XPRIZE isebenza amabhaso amatsha kwiindawo ezinje ngetekhnoloji yendawo, amandla acocekileyo, kunye neerobhothi ukusukela ngo-1994.
Kudliwanondlebe noSihlalo we-XPRIZE uPeter Diamandis ngoLwesine eKapa eKapa, eFlorida, uMusk uthe ukususwa kwekhabhoni yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yokulwa ubushushu behlabathi kwaye owona mceli mngeni kukufumana itekhnoloji enokuthi inyuswe ngokuhamba kwexesha.
Ndicinga ukuba le yenye yezinto eziza kuthatha ixesha ukufumana esona sisombululo sisiso, ngakumbi ukufumanisa ukuba zeziphi ezonaqoqosho zibalaseleyo ekususeni i-CO2, utshilo usomashishini, ehleli enganxibanga zihlangu ngokuchasene nomqolo wamahlathi ashushu. .
Andiqondi ukuba ngoku siza kutshabalala, wongeze watsho. [Kodwa] ukuba siqhubeka, ukungakhathali, kukho umngcipheko wokutshintsha kwemozulu ngendlela engaqhelekanga.
Nangona sibalekela ukufikelela kwi-zero, izibalo zemozulu zisixelela ukuba kufuneka sikhawulezise ukuphuhliswa kunye nokusasazwa kwezisombululo ezinokuthi zingabi nakhabhoni. Yiloo nto eli bhaso lililo, Marcius Extavour, I-XPRIZE usekela-mongameli wemozulu kunye nokusingqongileyo, utshilo kwintetho yevidiyo ngoLwesine.
Ukhuphiswano luvulelekile kubafundi, izazinzulu kunye neenjineli kwihlabathi liphela. Iqela eliphumeleleyo kufuneka libonise ukuba itekhnoloji yabo ingazisusa njani iigigaton ezili-10 ze-CO2 ngonyaka ngo-2050. Igigaton ilingana nesigidi esinye seetoni, okanye i-2.2 yezigidi zeepawundi.
Ibhaso le- $ 100 lezigidi liya kusiwa ngokwezigaba. Ekupheleni kweenyanga zokuqala ezili-18 zolu khuphiswano (ngasekupheleni kuka-2022), iyonke iyakunikezelwa ngamaqela oshishino ali-15 (nganye iya kufumana i-1 yezigidi zeedola) kunye namaqela abafundi angama-25 (ngalinye liza kufumana i-200,000 yeedola.) Iminyaka emine, ophumelele phezulu uza kufumana isixa semali esiyi- $ 50 yezigidi. Iimbaleki-zimbini ziya kufumana i-20 yezigidi zeerandi kwaye indawo yesithathu iya kufumana i-10 yezigidi zeedola
Kuxhomekeka kwindlela eyileke ngayo into yokugqibela, uMusk uvulelekile ekwandiseni ubungakanani bebhaso ekuhambeni kwexesha, utshilo uLwesine.
