I find it fascinating how few people remember the time when Greenpeace was literally selling Russian gas.

From the Wikipedia Page

In "Climate and Energy"

Green Planet Energy

In 1999 Greenpeace Germany (NGO) founded Greenpeace Energy, a renewable electricity cooperative that supplied customers with fossil gas starting from 2011. After a 2021 media outcry about an entity associated with Greenpeace selling fossil fuel which has been described as greenwashing,[89] the cooperative changed its name to Green Planet Energy.[90] The Greenpeace Germany NGO retains one share in the cooperative, which has been criticized for "greenwashing" Russian gas.[89]

Could you expand on that please? (I sound a bit snarky but don't mean to!)

I've made a comment to the parent one with a link to the wiki article!

@Kyoyeou@slrpnk.net seems to have given all the background info :)

I made it in response to this comment but wanted it to be a bit less hidden!

Reminds me of PETA throwing lobsters in fresh water.
