The governments will spend the money irregardless of what the cause is. Better on the environment than on military expenditures or pork or on incentives to big oil.

Always love when a guy comfortably lists his approach or opinion as commone sense.
Thanks! Good to know you think you're right, I had no idea
"We should clean up our planet, so there is no harm in doing so"
Where does that little statement differ from anything I've said. I've only mentioned some concern with the politics and the rigidity in the argument from the proponent side. I'm concerend that the focus on this topic has become so massive that every single other clearly defined and understood issue has been cast aside like yesterday's news. I'm worried that money is getting thrown at this topic with no real clear ideas on how to actually accomplish anything. I'm worried that leading economists continue to suggest that many of these policies won't actually do a thing for the environment but waste tax payer dollars.
So if you want to trickle all I've said down to me not wanting to do anything feel free, but some simple reading will show you that you may not be showing much common sense in doing so.
