Critics maintain that monorails involve greater cost, unsightliness, passenger inconvenience, low speed, and inefficient switching of cars.
Second, obtaining such information would often involve greater costs than are at stake in the decision to be made.
The detractors say that the concentrated solar power technology behind Desertec involves greater costs and risks than the fast-growing patchwork of smaller-scale photovoltaic cell installations that generate most of Europe's solar energy today.
Sweden's patient hotels are situated next to hospitals and provide a pleasant environment for the patient and an extra bed for a spouse or parent: although they involve greater capital cost, they achieve better clinical outcomes, mobilising a social capacity – the love and care of the family – to support healing.
In addition, catabolism of nucleic acids from chicken erythrocytes would presumably involve greater bio-energetic costs due to increased production and active transport of uric acid, the end product of nitrogen metabolism in insects (26).
However, this depends very much on the type of biofuel and for some the net greenhouse benefit may be marginal or even involve greater aggregate environmental costs than do fossil fuels [ 19].
But lower-cost plans are likely to involve greater out-of-pocket costs and more limited networks of doctors, and so far, the response from labor has been cool.
These problems are interrelated, since a greater quantity of information and detail involves greater computational cost.
Measurement of all trees within the plot area would avoid this source of uncertainty, but involves greater time costs, and it would not significantly change the total volume estimate which depends on the coverage of the dominant trees.
An ideal mechanism for relative localization is a fully autonomous passive sensing system (Graefe, 1989; Miura and Shirai, 1994), such as stereo vision, which involves great degree of sophistication and high cost.
