Is that actually true? If you mean "over the last 20 years", then no, they weren't even a governing party between 2005 and 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Federal_Republic_of_Ge... You're perhaps talking about the downstream effects of sunsetting nuclear energy but even since then, the ratio of renewable energy has only increased. So what do you mean exactly? https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/ger…

They barely made it into parliament at all most elections, hovering around 5% in 2002 and 2006 and well below 10% after that until 2021. I think you might be giving them too much credit.

Do you mean "renewable" gas? https://green-planet-energy.de/privatkunden/prowindgas I can't find anything about "organic" gas, maybe your auto translate did a wrong thing?!

Sorry, it was vegan gas, not organic. They stopped labelling it that way, obviously, after being thoroughly ridiculed. It’s difficult to find references to it now, but some articles from that time (2020-2022 I think) remain, e.g. https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/decouple/greenpeace-sel... There might be some traces of it in the Internet archive. [edit] there are traces here: https://web.archive.org/web/2021020918…

I get why people laught at it but let’s not forget anaerobic digestion reactors do produce methane from manure and last centuries oleoindustrie was using tons of cetacean fat, so vegan gaz is not litterally meaningless.

You don't even have to be in parliament to influence other parties.
