Being carbon neutral, aka being a "net zero carbon emitter", is not at all the same as emitting zero carbon, it means that carbon emissions be balanced by carbon absorption. As you may be aware, plants absorb CO2 out of the atmosphere as part of their growth, so all countries have quite large amounts of carbon absorption due to all their trees and forests and plants in general. There are also various technologies being developed and improved upon that can also take carbon out of the atmosphere and store it various ways, but currently trees are pretty much the most efficient. So in order to achieve net zero carbon emissions the US would want to (a) plant more trees, (b) transition the vehicle fleet from gas to electric, (c) transition the power grid from fossil fuels to renewables, etc.
Being carbon neutral / a net-zero carbon emitter has nothing to do with "NO cars or airplanes" as you put it."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

She's pretty clear and well-informed about environmental issues and it's something she talks about a lot. I find it unlikely she would have mis-phrased it multiple times in a row."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
