@Withnail1969 sure energy plays a factor, but not THE factor.
When we manufacture things, the cost of energy is Never on the list. When we make sheet metal parts, it's about material cost, setup cost, and labor.
When fixing an airplane, it's about part cost, and labor.
When doing construction, its' about cost of materials, and labor (time).
When doing electrical work, it's about materials and labor.
when McDonalds decides to automate, it's due to labor cost.
Why does Tesla automate their car production? Labor cost. Takes more energy to make teh car with robots than it did with people. But the robots work night and day, don't take breaks, don't need healthcare and benefits, don't pay income taxes or retirement....
