But this coal is endorsed by Greenpeace so it's basically renewable energy.

That a dumb and incorrect statement.

Here is the first link when you google "greenpeace coal germany".

The level of stupidity from this and many other comments makes me wonder how many russian plants are here trying to push some agenda.

Russian plants are feeling accomplished ever since Germany started building gas power plants like crazy. Phasing out coal is great, phasing out nuclear before coal is as idiotic as you can get.

I'm convinced that European Greens are 50% Russian assets 50% useful idiots.

Coal used to be a biomass, therefore coal is renewable by definition.

It's renewable if Greenpeace can somehow release the CO2 from our childrens lungs.

1. Poe's law

2. Removing CO2 is basically 50% of the lungs job and they do it just fine.
