The electricity for the German trains comes from power generated by coal (40%),gas (15%), nuclear (30%), hydro (10%), oil (5%).
French trains have a higher percentage of power from nuclear.

The uranium that is refined for nuclear fuel also is a fossil fuel, although its dangers are from radioactivity and toxic associates in the ores, thus are different in nature from those of coal and oil.

Transportation that doesn't depend on fossil fuels has not been done there or elsewhere. The electricity is mostly from coal, which is a fossil fuel.

The statement "It Has been done elsewhere" is false.
