Carbon free would stop all fossil fuel burning. Carbon neutral would be net zero due to mechanisms such as carbon capture.^^ I asked before without any response. What is the difference between a carbon neutral and carbon free nation ?
Carbon Neutral can also include things like bio fuels or synthetic hydrocarbons made from captured or atmospheric CO2 plus water and renewable energy. To my thinking, this is the most sensible way to solve the carbon emissions from aviation. Renewable methane can also be put into the existing natural gas distribution system.Carbon free would stop all fossil fuel burning. Carbon neutral would be net zero due to mechanisms such as carbon capture.
Ten years is probably too short a time to completely stop burning but carbon capture could make us net zero.
To replace all the gas and diesel vehicles in the US in 10 years would cost about $10 Trillion dollars (250 million vehicles times $40.000). This does not include the cost of increasing the electric generation, charging stations and switching all electric generation to renewables. So yes it would be fairly tough to do it in 10 years
The US currently spends almost 9 Trillion dollars a decade on oil (at $3 a gallon.)To replace all the gas and diesel vehicles in the US in 10 years would cost about $10 Trillion dollars (250 million vehicles times $40.000).

WSJ writer slams Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal, says it looks like Dem parody bill
“Somehow, government-run healthcare, ‘family sustainable’ wages, paid leave, and ‘affordable’ housing are also ‘required’ for a clean economy,” the writer wrote. “I would love to understand this logic. (And imagine what wages will need to be to pay for billion-dollar-per-kilowatt electricity).”
Leftists, communists. Socialists, Venezuela, oh my.

Rail is not the most economical mode of transport! Airlines are more better than commuter rail!
