'The Earth cannot wait for 60 years. We need everyone who can find the answer to today's greenhouse gas emissions problem, ' Branson said.
Last September, Branson also pledged to invest $ 3 billion in the war against the global warming, and said he would transfer all profits from his shipping companies, including the airline. Virgin Atlantic and Virgin train company, in the next 10 years, into this war.
As part of this commitment, he recently launched Virgin Fuels, with an investment of $ 400 million for green energy projects in the next 3 years.
