I like that the article included this statement: /Because of the inherent complexity of establishing universal values for health and environment damages, Shindell doesn’t view his newly published estimates as the last word in determining emissions’ social costs.
“There is room for ongoing discussion about what the value of atmospheric emissions should be,” he said. “But one thing there should be no debate over is that the current assigned price of zero is not the right value.”/ But as with any difficult to quantify area, people will tend to uncritically embrace evidence that confirms their view, and scrutinize disconfirming evidence to convince themselves they can discount it. Didn't see any reference to the health costs of spewing the known carcinogens in diesel exhaust. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/True-cost-of-EVs-using-coal-generated-electricty-is-50-of-cost-for-mid-range-sedan-tp4674365p4674366.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
