I used the term "greenies" because I couldn't think of another description at that time that conveyed my meaning. I've since looked it up and found that, first, many of the "green" inclination use the term to describe themselves. I thought, "so much for being offensive." But the right also tends to use it to mean "environmental extremist," sometimes pejoratively. But it doesn't have to be taken that way, since it is short and to the point. Should we start using that term instead?

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
Here are the main reasons that Texas had such a huge crisis during the cold weather in 2021:

Texas's power grid has long been separate from the two major national grids to avoid federal oversight; this disconnection made it difficult for the state to import electricity from other states during the crisis.
Texas also did not properly maintain their natural gas and wind turbine equipment.

If not for those two items, Texas would have been able to weather that winter storm.

You cannot spin this in any way to blame on failure of anternative energy. If Texas had acted responsably to begin with, the crisis would not have happened. It makes NO difference what happened in previous or subsequent years. The responsibility for the failure lies with the irresponsible politicians who chose to do #1 and #2 above.

So, don't bother sending links to your propaganda machine.

[And, if you didn't catch my drift, calling people "greenies" and other names, is very childish and diminishes any possible trust or belief in the support of your arguments. Just the facts, if you don't mind.]
