An Appropriate Job for Senators

Whole Foods Markets, one of those stores that sell lawn clippings as food, is switching its stores to wind energy. I understand they've placed a generator in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

James Taranto points out a little flaw in their renewable energy plan:

"Natural-food grocer Whole Foods Market Inc. said Tuesday it will rely on wind energy for all of its electricity needs, making it the largest corporate user of renewable energy in the United States," the Associated Press reports.

"It's a sales driver rather than a cost," Whole Foods regional president Michael Besancon tells the AP. "All of those things we do related to our core values: help drive sales, help convince a customer to drive past three or four other supermarkets on the way to Whole Foods."

So gas up that SUV and do your part to help promote energy conservation!

All feelings and little thought.
