这道题中OG对于强调句的解释是,The emphatic construction it is X that does Y (as in the phrase it is Jane who knows the answer) should be used only when there is a compelling reason to emphasize the doer of the action. In this sentence, the emphatic construction is used without good reason.
我自己的理解是:根据语意来说,这个句子表达的两类costs---cost of running,和fixed costs没有主次之分(仅仅算是个对比吧),并没有要强调fixed costs的意思,所以用强调句的结构是不合理的。
求问:Q1我的理解对吗?Q2我看见很多题目中强调句的结构都被判做wordy。OG解释中的compelling reason,什么才是compelling reason?什么情况下才可以用强调句呢?

红色部分是modifier,省略后句子为it is the fixed costs that makes it more expensive for them to generate electricity.此处强调的名词为复数,显然应用make而非makes
