Or, maybe you can point out how I'm wrong. You know, provide some evidence supporting "stupid". I'll help. If you're "stupid" as "you're mean, I don't like you, and I'm not going to respond to your arguments", I'll agree.
Stupid, as in: In the context of the sentence, the use of "force" was clearly in terms of market forces, and didn't "concede" anything about the rationality or reality of investing in cleaner energy and processes.
It's clear that any discussion with you devolves into responding to ridiculously irrational devices of rhetoric, so I'll stop here.
> the use of "force" was clearly in terms of market forces
This market isn't free - the price is forced by govt. You remember govt - they're folks who shoot you if you don't do what they want. (They're not the only folks who will do that, but ....)
Without that threat of force establishing a price, there would be a lot less investment.
You may like the price established, but that doesn't change the fact that the price would be different without the threat of force, and there would be a lot less investment.

Since when does pointing out how govt mandates work qualify?
