The idiots are focused on [X] cents per kWH, ignoring initial buy-in, and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). And because robots aren't subject to labor laws, they'll expect it to work 24/7. That means every time there's a hiccup, they're "losing money". Did they plan ahead for when it's outlived it's usefulness and they're forced to upgrade? The next robot isn't going to be nearly as affordable, these aren't consumer goods. When your entire labor force is nothing but robots, and the assembly line comes to a grinding halt, you will pay anything to get it up and running again.
