Obligatory military service is inefficient, because free conscript labor is much cheaper for the Russian military than hiring civilians as, for example, cooks and cleaning personnel.

I live in a country where a liter of petrol is cheaper than a liter of water.

Electricity generated from wind power is distinctly cheaper than the power sources used hitherto in the islands.

We need to make emission cuts much cheaper so that countries like China and India can afford to help the environment.

Experience shapes us as much as our genes (or innate talents) do, and online experience is cheaper and easier to shape.

The principle behind this is that collective insurance would be cheaper, and therefore less deflationary, than self insurance.

This could be achieved if all countries committed to spending 0.05 of GDP on research and development of non carbon emitting energy technologies. The cost a relatively minor 25 billion per year would be almost 10 times cheaper than the Kyoto Protocol (and many more times cheaper than a standard Kyoto II).
