Bill Gates's 2021 [[How to Avoid a Climate Disaster|Climate Book]] states the world is failing to meet goals due to a fundamental flaw in approach. He refers to this as "Reduce is not Zero". Reduce involves working on each hydroelectric dam or wind farm separately; whereas Zero refersinvolves to dealing withhandling the totalentire numberbatch of needed equipment at one time. Equipment includes hydroelectric dams, wind farms, solar panels, and nuclear reactors. When one works with thea entirelarge batch at one time, they can justify factories that mass produce the needed equipment. Factory automation is crucial, since it allows the worldone to handle large volumes at low cost. In order to implement Zero, beginsone withneeds a [[Low-carbon economy#Decarbonisation plans that get to zero CO2 emissions|plan that describes how to get to zero global CO<sub>2</sub> emissions]]. For an example plan, one can see The Manhattan 2 Project's [https://www.manhattan2.org/global-decarbonization-initiative Global Decarbonization Plan].
