Energy cost as the ultimate gatekeeper — Electricity dominates 60–80% of expenses; breakeven thresholds swing dramatically with every cent per kWh. Operators locked into sub-$0.06 rates (via renewables, flared gas, or long-term contracts) enjoy structural advantages and consistently higher ROI, while those exposed to grid volatility or residential rates face chronic margin erosion.
