That it might make someone rich is no excuse

After reading a news article on the environment, a commenter had this to say: "No amount of money will clean up the environment, though it will make a few very wealthy."

This 'environmental responsibility only makes certain people rich' mentality is insulting, narrow-minded and smacks of anti-capitalism. The way I look at it , if a new business model emerges out of a newly identified need to change the way we do things - so freaking what? Are these people suggesting that the only changes we should allow are those that can't be turned into a business profit? Are they uninformed, confused or just jealous?

Imagine, if in the days leading up to the decision to offer sewer or garbage disposal services somebody argued, "No amount of money will clean up the environment, though it will make a few very wealthy."
