Yep, but that does not turn grey into green.

This is just politics redacting facts... because they want the votes.

These "neo-green policits" could perfectly say "we are green but we acknowledge but we need grey energy for a while". They chose redefining language, as always.

(Cf. Victor Klemperer, "The language of the third reich" and also, as always, Orwell... "good is bad, bad is good" and "the past can be changed").

Instead of dividing them into grey and green, we should rank them in red, yellow and green.

Red energy sources are the ones we immediately need to stop using: coal and oil.

Yellow energy sources are the ones we should stop using only if we can safely do so, but if we can't (and we can't, right now) we should continue using them: gas and nuclear.

Green energy sources are where we really need to go.
