The Manhattan 2 Project's [https://www.manhattan2.org/global-decarbonization-initiative Global Decarbonization Plan] is an example of a plan that gets the world to zero emissions. It does it with a US Government $10B/yr initiative that develops factories that mass produce green energy production equipment. The US gives the designs of these factories away for free, to facilitate global decarbonization. The US gives instead of sells for selfish reasons -- it does not want harm to come to its shores due to climate change. Factory automation drives down the cost of green energy to a level below carbon-based fuels; which causes others to go green since it saves them money. This approach uses a combination of market forces, free factory designs, automation engineering, and foreign policy to facilitate global decarbonization.

The disadvantage of a plan that gets us to zero is it involves at trillion of dollars of equipment, and very few people, both inside and outside government, feel qualified to deal with such large numbers.
