Yes, the cost to build anything new includes costs of all components and labor costs. Note that Apple is requiring that all factories involved in building their i devices use renewable power. IKEA is similarly using as much renewable power as well. This approach is rapidly spreading, particularly with large US companies.

Some questions for you on Y2K
How many software systems built in the 1970s were still in use in the 1990s?
How many of those systems evolved from Holorith (?) card systems
How many needed to sort data by date?
Because of limited space on Holorith cards, how many systems used two digits to specify year?
Using just two digits for year, how could you sort year 2000 data in correct date order?
So, world wide, how many data files and programs needed updating before 1/1/2000?
Given the number of problems found, how well was that massive task accomplished?
Some people know as little about IT as they know about global warming.
Oh - and did you know that it is green stuff in our world that extracts CO2 from the armosphere and releases oxygen. Do you know that greenies like green stuff, and that if profit were our only motivation in life, you could say goodbye to livability on our planet.
