Oh, sure. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I completely agree with the implication that you can't spend your way out to a cleaner future. I mean, you could certainly spend a lot of money today to avoid spending money in the future, which is a category that your example of clean energy could fall into.

I was being slightly tongue in cheek, but what's a little depressing, is that when I look at analysis of things like carbon sequestering, it's really hard to end up carbon positive when factoring everything in. These kinds of things tend to then add credence to the idea that you can't spend your way to a cleaner future.
