Greenhouse question

[OhNoYaDont]

I am in process of building a smallish (500 sq ft) greenhouse. I am going to use plastic as a covering.

I notice that pix's of other ghs's that I see have the milkey covering on them, not the clear plastic. The specs that I am able to find shows that the milkey type allows about 90% of the light thru.

Question is this: Why not use the clear plastic? Isn't more light better than less?
