Perhaps the Germans could start investing in coal powered trains?

100% German solution.

Edit: For everybody downvoting me, see Germany begins dismantling wind farm for coal.

So tired of this uninformed bashing honestly.

But while we're at it: There are some coal-powered trains still in service in Germany, though mostly as attractions. Example: https://www.hsb-wr.de/

Wind farms are literally being dismantled to make room for coal extraction.
