** Sinestro spent all movie believing that Fear was stronger than Will, and that it was essentially an untapped resource; he believes that DarkIsNotEvil and plans to use Fear to fight evil as a WellIntentionedExtremist. He has witnessed his group of Green Lanterns (Will) being completely out-powered by Parallax (Fear) in a straight fight. Hal killed Parallax though trickery, not sheer strength.
** Sinestro is also the mastermind behind the yellow ring, or at least the one who encouraged the Guardians into its creation. It was his project, and from his point of view it's ''perfect'' and the Guardians are holding him back, and will probably have no reason to deploy it at all with Parallax gone. So, in frustration against the restraint and perceived weakness of the Guardians, Sinestro resolves to go it alone and use what he has (directly or indirectly) created.
** Perhaps Sinestro is also (more than) a little power-hungry, and as noted he sees Fear as more powerful than Will. He seems too eager to use the yellow ring, and ignore other options. He doesn't just want to see Parallax beaten, he wants to use the situation as an opportunity to "trade up" his ring.

*** Heck, let's look at it from a different angle. Joy is an emotion, but in terms of motivation and "power", it'd be a terrible emotion to power a corps. After all, happiness is dependent on nothing going wrong, since the instant something bad happens to any degree the happiness of anyone is destroyed. It'd be like making a spear out of glass: technically it could do something, but it'd shatter so easily as to not be worth bothering with. At least Hope intrinsically has the quality of being able to exist in the face of adversity, even if it could be broken given the right leverage. Sadness would also count as an emotion with little motivating power, since it comes when spirits are lowest, and people only come out of sadness when it's substituted by a stronger feeling, like anger or will or love.

** The emotions in the spectrum aren't actual emotions as much as they are feelings. Greed isn't exactly an emotion but it is a strong desire to own something for yourself. Being greedy isn't a deliberate choice someone makes, it is a feeling you can't control based on emotions like envy. Compassion works similarly, being based on empathy which isn't an emotion itself but instead is the sharing of emotions. And willpower isn't an emotion at all but that is the point. The Guardians rejected emotions and settled on the most stable band in the spectrum. The seven emotions in the spectrum are all tied to emotions in different ways and this is reflected in their powers. Straightforward emotions like love and fear have powers similar to the straightforward willpower. Hope, the passive emotion, is itself mostly passive. Compassion uses empathy to replicate other powers. It all makes sense if you view the "emotional spectrum" label as a matter of convenience.
