Yeah, "green technology" isn't more profitable if corporations don't have to deal with the consequences of non-green energy production. Everyone knows that.
Some people are also interested in not destroying the environment they live in, though. They are interested in acting as a global society to stop destroying the planet.
To that end, they want to pass laws that force corporations to clean up the messes they make and include the cost of that in their energy production. If they had to pay for the mess they make, it might very well make "green" energy more profitable and also help our environment. At the very least, they'd have to stop destroying the environment.
