What a "wonderful" solution

We save all these Watts of energy with lighting, but then it seems to me we waste that effort (okay, I work from my house and live 3 blocks from the grocery store). But, how do we offset the use of fossil fuel when growing the stuff that makes the ethanol takes SO MUCH fossil fuel? Just. Flat. Stupid.

Why is this on the Bagby blog? We do the same thing when we ship energy efficient products from China to Mexico for assembly and then ship them to jobs. Not all that much we can do about it, but it still makes just as little sense as covering the Earth in corn ... to satisfy probably 20% of the US demand.
