you want to constipate us financially

So explain to me why funding NASA or the military is good for the economy, but funding anything to do with the environment is a drag on the economy.

I admit, it is a very common refrain from libertarian think tanks. Could you provide some insight?

AFAIK, there will be quite a bit of money made in environmentally friendly technology. Why it is viewed as a net drag is beyond me.
