life is precious, how much is cost of human life? Cost of life is how much does it take to end it. It may take a few million to keep clean air under some EPA rules to maintain some life but planned Parenthood can pay for abortion for under a $1000.00. Anti-death penalty advocates say it costs a couple million (includes legal fees) to execute someone in a "humane" way while China pragmatically uses a .22 bullet to back of head for a less than $100.00 executioners fee, transport of prisoner to back door of hospital where docs interested in spare parts do a bit of slicing before body is dumped, burned or given back to relatives with bill for bullets. Old Austin engines designed in high gasoline price/tax times 1950s retrofitted with PCV, gastank vapor recovery and high energy ignitions get through California emission lanes without fancy computers or cats on collector plates and get better mileage than newest triple cost high$breds. Old VW type4s had the electro-mechanical trigger fuel injection for better mileage and did a bit better clean burn, the Renault R15 fuel injection followed VW pattern and also got better mileage, engine could be rebuilt fairly easy- think of IHC 113inch A,B, C wet sleeve design and compare. Lots of cost EPA are in the salaries of administrators and testers, rule writers and public relations. Contrast that to engineers making a military transport told to forget civilian rules and make fuel economy, servicability, reliability ahead of clean burning priority for cheapest unit cost for horsepower needed. rebuilt/upgraded M113A3 using V6-53T engines wouldn"t be allowed on city streets for EPA standards(never mind the tracks) but get better mileage than the green small city bus using the new ultra low sulphur and urea injection systems at less cost per mile. Porsche design Mixte from 1930s with a regenerative motor/generator rear axle brake is early example of electric drive with engine- simple design type works and is cost effective but not to EPA testing standards, by the time GMC gets the bus to EPA standards the cost has increased 50% and mileage reduced 5%, maintenance has become double cost. But a EPA bus testing department has working employees that pay union dues that get skimmed for political contributions. India and China are using sewer gas bus and light trikes in polluted cities, minimum rules after conversion of a diesel or rebuild of old Chicago trolley bus and they work cheaply enough.
