ww3 or some catastrophic event wipes you out like the dinosaurs. Technically, you are still polluting the ozone by using gas. I would concetrate on cleaning up your earth. Does greenpeace have any funding for these types of mass scale projects? If so why not mention it in their article? Maybe greenpeace should take advantage of the oil barge
by obtaining their own instead of pirating or what not.
-- All interesting enough questions I suppose, but Wikipedia is not the place for them, I suppose. Consider contacting greenpeace itself? 59.167.111.154 (talk)

List of sources:
Contradiction in terms? "renewable" used to describe "fossil gas"
a renewable electricity cooperative that supplied customers with fossil gas starting from 2011
Unless I'm mistaken, the general definition of "renewable" excludes "fossil gas", and so this is a tacit contradiction in terms and the burden of proof would require a verifiable source to explain how "fossil gas" can be renewable, otherwise "a renewable electricity cooperative" should be changed to something like "an electricity cooperative claiming to provide renewable energy" so that the text isn't making the claim itself.

Greenpeace is a global campaigning network founded in Canada in 1971. Its goal is to "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity", with campaigns focused on issues such as climate change, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering and the anti-war and anti-nuclear movements. It uses direct action, advocacy, research and ecotage to achieve its goals. Greenpeace had its origins in protests staged in the late 1960s against Cannikin, an American underground nuclear weapon test in the tectonically unstable island of Amchitka in Alaska, amid concerns that the test would trigger earthquakes and a tsunami. This 1971 photograph shows the nuclear device that sparked the creation of Greenpeace being lowered into its firing hole for Cannikin.
