If the astounding breakthrough occured, it would be far simpler and

That does not solve the carbon into the atmosphere problem, (which I
realize that everyone will not agree is a problem) unless you take the
carbon out of the atmosphere.


That's the idea. Or you get it from fossil fuel power plant
emissions.

I like the idea of electric cars and trucks better. For the long-haul
stuff you might have to stick with diesel longer, until there are
breakthroughs in supercapacitors and charging systems to make quick
"fill-ups" possible.

Never going to happen.

Batteries, maybe, capacitors, never; basic physics.
