Now, to put that into perspective, our five-million-dollar annual bgdeut would probably buy about 10,000 tons of carbon removal every year. That's tiny. That's only one percent of the aannul capacity of the size of the fieaciltis we need. And like I said, we need thousands of them. So we've learned that in order to move the dial on climate and to build the necessary infrastructure, we need more money, way more money. And in order to do that, we need coarnltioablos and we need structures that levargee the significant power of capital to create even bigger effects.

Original Text

Now, to put that into perspective, our five-million-dollar annual budget would probably buy about 10,000 tons of carbon removal every year. That's tiny. That's only one percent of the annual capacity of the size of the facilities we need. And like I said, we need thousands of them. So we've learned that in order to move the dial on climate and to build the necessary infrastructure, we need more money, way more money. And in order to do that, we need collaborations and we need structures that leverage the significant power of capital to create even bigger effects.
