What do you think about "Green" Incentives?

Ok, so I’m in my local FBLA chapter, and my team is doing Emerging Business Issues. Usually, I wouldn’t ask, but last year my team came across a problem: there weren’t enough published opinions. So, I come to you, The Collective. What do you think? Here is the question:

There is a great deal of emphasis in our economy to build and operate businesses in an environmentally efficient manner. Should state or the Federal government offer special incentives for companies who choose to build with green materials, harness
green power, and employ other green tactics in their operations?

If you can state you opinion, explain why, and support it, that’d be great.
