"Also the cost of such a wide spread deployment of solar power, electrifying the world's railroads, and a massive expansion of wind power all over the world all done within 10 years would itself be very high."
Sure it would be high. Think of all the people you have to pay along the way; extraction of raw materials, building plants, running plants, installing panels. What a waste of money. Why,we might even have to manufacture more railroad cars. That'll never do.

I feel very bad for all those Big Mackers and WalMarters who will be forced to quit their jobs and go to work at $20-25/ an hour in the alt en industry. Poor folks.
