One of the problems with "green solutions" is that any government tax incentives are just tacked onto the price by the producers. A product cost B to make and they would normally sell it for Y, but then they say,"well there going to get a tax credit, etc. so let's tack on an extra charge." I saw this same thing with wind turbines in the 80's.

When they label something organic or green, they just jack the price up. In economics they call it skimming the market. Figure the people who care about this stuff have more money than most. Then they turn around and complain that people do not care about the environment, etc. It's a BS deal.
