How does this color affect plant growth?

The ones I've seen in various catalogs/websites have one or the other, but no mention of which works better, how or why.

Thoughts?
And I just so happen to have March 9th off! I really will be there when the doors open!

I don't know about the green being important. When I winter sow the seedlings don't seem to care whether it's a clear bottle or a green bottle so I don't know if it matters. I'm a little worried the plastic cover will be very cheap and rip by the end of the season but I think I can order replacements to fit from catalogs (It seems to be the same size all over).

Oh here's a thought...maybe the green is more uv resistant? Tougher, will last longer than clear? *fingers crossed*
