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