[edit]

Certainly buying local is good and there's something to say about the energy used to import goods, but I would be careful when asserting that "it is now clearly more profitable to waste energy than save it." The example you used was with trucks importing goods. It's a complicated situation where goods may be produced in quantity at cheaper costs (economically and in energy), so if the energy savings is high enough per unit, then if enough units are produced, shipping and producing could actually use less energy.
