Only, they're not really expending energy to transpire. The
evaporative process itself is what draws most of the water up.

Agreed, poor choice of words on my part. The point I was trying to
make is that the evaporative cooling (water use) will take precedence
over the production of glucose and therefore vegetative growth or
fruit setting.
