    [synopsis] => This is more than a book. It is a plan. And not just any plan. It is a plan to save the planet. More specifically, it details how to transition from a carbon-based society to one that does not emit CO2.

Author Glenn Weinreb is the Director of the Manhattan 2 Project, a non-profit that does research on how to resolve climate change at the lowest cost, and in a way that is politically feasible. He has already published more than anyone in the electronics industry on this topic.

The world's economic strategy for resolving climate change is to encourage individuals, companies, cities, and regions to reduce CO2 emissions. At first glance, this might seem reasonable. However, it is fundamentally flawed since these entities rarely have the physical ability to decarbonize at the lowest cost. Instead, we should task power companies with decarbonizing electricity at massive scales and at the lowest cost.

The USA's political strategy for resolving climate change is to work with a political coalition of environmentalists, labor unions, and the automobile industry. At first glance, this might seem reasonable too. However, it is fundamentally flawed since labor and auto must focus on their own financial interests, not getting to zero at the lowest cost. Instead, we should rely on a political coalition that benefits from lowest-cost decarbonization. This would be states that import carbon-based fuels.

The easiest path forward would be a federal law that does two things: (a) require electricity to be decarbonized at massive scales and at the lowest cost, and (b) increase R&D to further reduce decarbonization costs!
