Second, obtaining such information would often involve greater costs than are at stake in the decision to be made.
Critics maintain that monorails involve greater cost, unsightliness, passenger inconvenience, low speed, and inefficient switching of cars.
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.
These problems are interrelated, since a greater quantity of information and detail involves greater computational cost.
A policy of regulatory "pay-go" would prohibit agencies from issuing new rules, no matter how beneficial they are, unless they first identify and eliminate an existing rule that involves greater or equal costs for industry.
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.
The deal involves greater transparency.
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].
