EU just decided that gass and nuclear is to be concidered green. I get why nuclear is alright, but since both coal and gass is basically just carbon in different states. Why then is gass better?

Both are not “green” in the traditional sense of meaning “environmentally friendly”.
First of all, there is a strong focus on CO2, which is the low hanging fruit, while there are a lot of other emmissions that contribute to the greenhouse effect as well.
Secondly, the term “green” is not only meant to mean “less polution during use” but also includes the “sustainable” aspect, which is coveniently ignored.
This decision completly changes what it means to be “green” and will probably have impact on other aspects as well.
