Because we know it would be a lie and the money used would go to the wealthy who would trickle it down to next to nothing for the projects and pay themselves big bonuses for having had to handle all the money in the first place.

That said, I can see burning more fuels if we do something like, I dunno, work more on colonizing space, building ships that can harvest asteroids, etc and so on - all the while getting more and more companies and people to do tele-work and instead of flying all over meeting with clients do so on the web and such.

In a perfect world run by people whose main concern was the planet and it's people - I would be on board. But this is just another way for the few to get as much as possible from the many while not caring at all.
