If we don't change course, we'll end up where we're headed. The thought that that will be another generation's problem makes it easier to dodge the problem today, but the solution is needed now. What we do today will not substantially affect the 21st century in terms of, say, global warming, but what we do today will affect the 22nd century. Those are the kind of time lapses that we're dealing with in environmental issues. The things that change so slowly are the most important.
Geological forces are very slow and they matter most of all.
Everything else falls in between. We want to have an operating lease, so that companies using this can have their current deduction of the expense. Our operating lease depends on an independently determined salvage value. It doesn't even help if we guarantee the salvage value, because that's not independently determined. So getting something comparable to the Blue Book for an automobile is missing so far.
