I would assume oil lamps were run on animal oils, but I guess those were more for lighting. I just kind of figured any use of oil in which it gets burned is fair game here.

It’s not false. Just misleading. It says “For the first time in the history of the Greek electricity system, the demand was covered 100% from renewable energy sources,” its IPTO wrote. Which is technically true. Doesn’t mean it actually was. So definitely misleading. But not false
