Wasn't Germany that weird one where 'gas' was labeled as 'renewable'? Or was that something diffrent?

No, worse, they labeled it as green. Naziland never fails to be on the wrong side of history

Yes it was, but I can't find the sources now. It was some time after the recent invasion of Ukraine by the eastern hordes; titles were something like "Germany reclasified natural gas as renewable'. My memory fails me, so it may have been different gas and different purpose than electricity. Anyway, it came as a very poor taste.

In other news, Germany imports quite some percentage of its electricity from other countries, like nuclear-produced electricity from France. So, in a sense and to a degree, it outsources the emissions to other countries.

Edit: sources of both claims below.
