Minor nitpick unrelated to your argument: A lot of aluminum smelting plants and large paper mills have their own power generation facilities or have entered into some sort of co-op for generating the power they need rather than paying a power company.
Which is why Iceland has a huge aluminium smelting industry. They build these plants literally right upon builing water, so the energy comes well cheap for them.
Distance is always an important factor, even in IT.
